CASE: Fractal Design Node 804 (SKU: 97165)
PSU: Be Quiet! Pure Power L8 600W (SKU: 90532)
UPS: Cyberpower CP1000AVRLCD 1000VA 600W (SKU: 36273)
MB: ASUS H97M-PLUS LGA1150 (SKU: 97033)
CPU: Intel Core i5 4570 @ 3.2GHz (SKU: 81329)
HS: Some Cooler Master 92mm I had (Don't remember the model)
RAM: ADATA Xpg V1.0 16GB DDR3-1600 CL9-9-9-24 (2x8GB) (SKU: 93608)
SATA / RAID CARD: Syba SY-PEX40008 (SKU: 53815)
SSD: Samsung 840 Evo 120GB (SKU: 87760)
HDD 1: 5x 4TB Seagate ST4000VN000 (SKU: 85198)
HDD 2: 1x 2TB Samsung HD204UI (From old external HDD)
HDD 3: 1x 2TB Western Digital WD20EZRX-00D8PB0
HDD 4: 1x 500GB Samsung HD502IJ (From old external HDD)

Software and Configuration:
My server is running Linux Mint 16 (non-server version). I am using sofware raid with mdadm. The 5 4TB disks are in RAID6 and the others are in JBOD.
So before anyone say anything!! I know that this build is really...really overkill for a NAS. The reason behind this is that I don't have much room and that I will use this system to host some VMs as well. The JBOD drives will mostly be for backup and archive. It may also serve as Steam In-Home Streaming client for my TV.
 
Total space: 24.5TB 
Actual Space: 16,5TB
 
Usage:
Storage...Basically everything I have is in there.
Media PC
Steam In-Home Streaming client
Hosting VMs
All my roommates are using it to backup series and movies

Backup:
I have an external 1TB HDD on an external site for really important files
The backups are made manually atm to the JBOD drives from the RAID array

Additional info:
Haswell = No power!!
Fractal Design Node 804 = WIN
I didn't need the RAID functionnality on the PCI-e card because I only use it for backup drives so I didn't mind getting a cheap card
600W was really overkill...even if I add a GPU...
I added a 120mm fan on the HDD + PSU side just to be sure
 
Photos:
 

From the NAS (The 640GB one is an external USB hard drive not included in the specs)
 

From my PC
 

The space between the hard drives on the right and the PSU was really tight considering I did not have 90 degres connectors on the SATA cables.
 

Death from above
 

TIGHT TIGHT TIGHT (and poor cable management)
 

The SSD is in the front panel and there is still room for one more
 

There are still 2 x 3.5" support at the bottom for HDDs
 

Cheers

Alright, after reading all those comments, I'll get the G710+ because I prefer a large keyboard to a compact one and the o-rings seems interesting to me.
 
Thanks guys, I'll let you know how it is when I get it.
