  • Looking for mainboard suggestion

    Hi all

    I'm planning to build my own custom NAS since my Qnap makes more and more trouble lately. So instead of paying 600-800euro for a new qnap i thought i just build my own and install freeNAS on it.

    My thoughts where a board with integrated atom dualcore as that should do the job fine and not cost that much on the power bill, however there aint that many on the market with 6 sata ports+esata.

    At first i had thought of the zotac nm10-dtx but that didn't get a very good review here on the site. So i was wondering if anyone else had any qualified sugestions on a good and power saving board i could use instead.

    Thanks in advance for any input

    [edit] oh, my plans for it is to run mail+web server and as default network attached storage
    My advice - never visit a short-url, no matter who gives it to you. You can't trust any source at any time when you don't know your target
