With such power i hope you installed Xpenology in a VM.
I've added some of your hardware to the list (thanks!).
However, i can't find the Dell H200 HBA, you do got a link? (Ebay would be great).

Hey Brantje,
I had thought about installing VMware ESXi 5.5 as this is what i have done in the past years with my previous servers, however this time round, i wanted to see if DSM would run straight on the bare metal which it does wonderfully! The only thing i am now waiting on is for the VirtualBox package to work as that would then allow me to share the hardware with a couple of VMs.
Many thanks for adding the hardware to the list, i can go ahead and add in the rest when i have a moment so hopefully people can benefit from it if they are building a similar system.
As for the Dell H200, they sell it as a RAID card, however i wouldnt ever use it as such. As an HBA though, it works great! Here is a link to a current listing on ebay http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Dell-RAID-H200-047MCV-6gb-s-SAS-SATA-Controller-/172087807355?hash=item28113b8d7b:g:Co0AAOSwX~dWspkL
Kind Regards,
Josh
