Onknight Posted February 5, 2021 Share #1 Posted February 5, 2021 (edited) Okay so I got my Sever going but I going move it to a Antec P180 (case is like the one Below) Once i get the following Parts (1) The Power supply goes in the bottom current one the cables are too short for Power connections and there not enough SATA for 10 to 12 Drives .. I'll use the 5'25 Bays as Slide out Drives There room for 16 Hard drives will only use 10 so I can space out the heat (2) I am going need also a PCI Card that card 6 SATA Drives and fast Nic card 10/100/1000Mbps Running DS3615xs 6.1 Jun's Mod V1.02-alpha ISO with DSM_DS3615xs_15284 Edited February 5, 2021 by Onknight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
