Hello Everyone!
Been a long while since I got my hands dirty. Looking to get back in the game with a multi-purpose box. Can you help and recommend some good parts?

Here's my goals for this build.
1. support for 9 hardrives
2. cpu that is capable of 1080p transcode (Plex)
3. lowest possible power consumption
4. budget around $1000 not including HDD
5. Data redundancy either via Raid or some other means

Yes. I know. This is a tall order.

Thinking of starting with...
1. U-Nas Case $220 http://www.u-nas.com/product/nsc800.html
2. PSU Athena Power 1U 400w $60 http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.asp...6817338059
3. HDD for storage. Western Digital 2 TB x8 (have these already)
4. Windows 7 (have a spare license already)
5. Small SSD for OS?
6. ITX Motherboard?
7. CPU?
8. Lo Voltage memory?
9. SATA Controller


Thanks in advance for any help or advice!!
