    Found the battery and cables thanks for the suggestions

    Posting the MOBO, I think those are the parts so far. This MOBO may work with the raid card which will give me access for 4 HDD theoretically. Not sure about the power supply but I will try to fit it on another case. I would like to consume as less power as possible so I don't know if my best bet is i5 3th gen or Xeon LGA 1366. Xeon TDP 130W i5 3th TDP 77 W

    PCI-E Raid controller? This may work. wonder if FreeNas support it. Last time I tried a controller wouldn't take the raid configuration.

    I found the most important part on a old decommission server. Hope they still in good shape. Money spend so far $0.00

    Looking around for decommission computers. And spend money in second hand part if necessary.

    I am not buying the parts. I will Frankenstein a build.

    It is not a fully building blog as I don't have the parts and I planning to get feedback as I get the parts and try to maximize my second hand picks. I could move to building a blog when I have an idea what direction to take as this is a general discussion. But I leave to your criteria as I am new in this. Regards, @Crunchy Dragon

    @emosun I am scavenging computers part right now. so right now I have two MOBO, powersupply, case, I have spent $0 on those parts,so in a sense this is a building blog @Christophe Corazza, I am trying to recycle as much as I can and I will buy part as last resource @Electronics Wizardy so my challenge is try to build something functional and that it looks "decent" so my target is Synology DS918+ spec or better performance. This NAS will be part of my VMWare lab. One MOBO is socket LGA 1366 and I have a Xeon 8GB memory (recycle) Second MOBO mini ITX socket 1155 has not memory (recycle) someone from a garage sell give a computer case. I have collected miscellaneous parts here and there so I will be posting pic next time around. I should had mention that minimum hard drive space is 2TB x 4 HDD at RAID 5 one disk fail tolerance and 6TB of space. otherwise open to suggestion as well. Raid 5 or 10?

    So here is the challenge; I want to build a storage unit but I don't want to spent top money, my reference price is a Synology DS918+ $750 CAD apox. Box only and if you add the 4 2.0 TB HD (just a regular one) $320 CAD at $80/unit. So we are talking about $1,070. Now this is a storage unit for a not critical data (Storage not Backup). With the reference model I am talking about. Spec. Intel Celeron J3455 @ 1.5ghz TDP 4GB Memory 1GE x2 LAN One big factor Power consumption this unit consume average 28.8W access (This will run potentially 24/7) I have see in this channel balls to the wall build for NAS and yes I can see the point in opting out for single caddies backup type solution but at the end of the day a powerfull processor doesn't quite translate in a better NAS. You could potentially use a old Xeon + 8GB memory PC and get a descend or equal performance. I will post the parts that I have available and include pic as soon as I get part sorts. Visual is a plus for me as would like the case looks good a minimalist but I will see what I can found.

    I will run my Virtual Lab, with VMWare Workstation for my Demos , and yes rending those videos would be easy peasy with that processor. I always think the most important part in which anyone should spend the most is the processor. My old computer got a nice (but now old) xeon and still functional but I think it is time to upgrade. Good Luck to everyone in this forums, it you don't play; you can't win.

    It was about time you guys team up for a great give away, we are expecting more of this for TechQuickie and Jaytwocent channel From Jaytwocent my favorite video so far "Case Pressure Explained" and From TechQuickie :"DDR4"
