    Looking for a Mini-ITX/DTX Motherboard with 6x SATA and raid 5

    You've got some nice options there. The Jetway looks like a nice board and the CFI Case looks pretty good too. I think it's going to come down to your own personal preferences. I also like the idea of using a "dual atom with an ion chip" for my Media Server but couldn't because I needed a...

    Looking for a Mini-ITX/DTX Motherboard with 6x SATA and raid 5

    I've never used software Raid5 but I am currently running hardware Raid5 which came built-in to my motherboard. I think it's the best thing ever cause my computer has crashed many times due to my poorly vented top floor computer room. It gets really hot up here in the summer. An other option...

    Looking for a Mini-ITX/DTX Motherboard with 6x SATA and raid 5

    Hi bibib, I didn't buy anything yet. Mostly for two reasons... My life just got a little busy with my new born son and... I couldn't find exactly what I was looking for. Once things get a little less hectic around home, I'll start seriously looking again. I looked into the Asrock...

    Looking for a Mini-ITX/DTX Motherboard with 6x SATA and raid 5

    Nice board! The only two things that worry me about that board is the performance of the Atom Chip when encoding videos via PS3 media server to my PS3 and the fact that on the spec sheet it says the raid only works with Windows...??? That is weird. If it's a good hardware raid it shouldn't...

    Looking for a Mini-ITX/DTX Motherboard with 6x SATA and raid 5

    Thanks Zap, for the thorough reply. I've been looking for a while and I came to a similar conclusion but just hoped I was wrong, but thanks for verifying my thoughts that I was looking for a product that doesn't exist. That SuperMicro board looks pretty cool but I'm concerned about the...

    Looking for a Mini-ITX/DTX Motherboard with 6x SATA and raid 5

    I'm trying to build a Windows Home Server and one of my primary goals is to make it as small as possible while trying to avoid using an expensive PCIe Raid controller. Also I'll need room for the following: - Four, Five or Six 3.5" 2TB SATA HDDs (Hot Swap) - One 2.5" 120GB SATA SDD - One...

    mini-ITX HTPC Power-On via IR Remote and Case

    I am looking to buy the ZOTAC GF9300-G-E Mini-ITX LGA 775 Intel Motherboard because it now supports wake-on usb but will it support power-on usb? If not, are their any other solutions to make my IR Remote turn on my HTPC from a full off state?? The Case I really like right now is the Winsis...

    I am looking for an IDE Blu-Ray Burner

    I am looking for an internal IDE Blu-Ray Burner. I can't get a SATA version because all 6 of my SATA ports are being used for my Hard-Drives. Is there such a thing? Preferably something faster than 2x. Anything in the 4x, 6x, or 8x ??

    Stream ISO's with sortable Meta Data

    I will have a Linux box in my Home Theater Room soon because I'll be dual booting my PS3. Anyway, I want to know if there is a way to stream all my DVD ISO's on my Win XP Pro Box to my Linux Box (PS3 dual boot). The catch is that I want to be able to navigate through my dvd collection via...
