Hey Eskro, I know you are an unRAID guy, but I was hoping you might could step away from your comfort zone and whip up a build for someone thinking of going the flexRAID route. I am a windows guy and I'm too old and impatient to change. If so, I'll list my particulars below.
I'd like to have an SSD for my operating system. OS will be Win 7 64x. Besides flexRAID, I'll also be running uTorrent 24x7, Ember Media Manager, and a few other supplemental XBMC/Torrent apps. I am an AMD guy so try to factor that in. You can leave the HDDs out, but for reference I'll be using 2TB WD Caviar Greens. I'd like to have up to 12 of them at some point, but I'll be starting with 4.
