Building a home server. Please help, DC!

re: unRAID
Interesting concept. There are a few caveats. Not sure I'm totally wild about some of how this works. But since it's primarily being used as a media storage server (where there's nothing that can't be replaced) it seems to be an OK compromise. Definitely not a good choice for a standard data server however. But who cares? As long as you understand what it is - and what it's good for - there shouldn't be any bad surprises. I'd definitely want to run it on new and good quality hardware. This isn't one of those "raid your junk closet for parts" projects.
@SB - thanks for sharing. I'm generally clueless about this type of product so it's always great when somebody points something like this out to me.
Note: Revision 3 did a segment w/walkthru on unRAID a few years back. Look at it here. It's 2+ years old so some of the commentary may be (likely is?) out of date with the current release.
Addendum:
Getting this (see below) when attempting to go to http://lime-technology.com didn't exactly give me the warm fuzzies. ;D

The registration is tied to the serial number of a flash drive?? Yeesh. It was interesting until I got there.

I also noticed how there were some possible GPL violation questions that had been brought up about Lime Technologies and unRAID. :-\
Does anybody know what the status or resolution was on that point? :huh:
Because if there's an unresolved GPL issue, that's a total showstopper for me no matter how good a product might be. :(

OK, forget the unraid thing. I'll just go with a normal windows server. I'm close guys, I'm close!!
