That will leave you in good shape for future expansion as well. But a solid LGA775 board and decent case and power supply aren't that expensive. You can of course spend more, depending on what bells and whistles you want. You should be able to get all that for no more than $200. Worst case, you'll need a new motherboard, case, and power supply. If it boots and recognizes the Seagate, then you're in pretty good shape. Boot up with only the flash drive and the Seagate, and see if it will go. What you can do to start with, is download the free version of unRAID, and go in an unplug your current drives, and plug in the new 2TB Seagate. Best case, you should be able to run four drives without issues. You can certainly disconnect your drives and plug in your unRAID drives to give it a whirl. They run fine as long as you don't add anything too power hungry, but beyond that, they're pretty worthless.
I remember running into issues with their onboard video in particular, when someone wanted to add a video card.Īlso, Dell's power supplies generally suck. Even though the chipset should be fine (P45/G45 + ICH10R LAN), you might run into strange stuff in their implementation or their BIOS. Hmm, Dell does a lot of proprietary stuff on their motherboards. I have zero experience whatsoever with servers, etc. Can I take out my 2 optical drives, and somehow fit the Seagates in, assuming this Dell will work? I also just ordered 2 of the Seagate 2TB drives that are on sale at Newegg. I have 2 hard drives installed right now. There are 4 sata ports on board, as far as I can tell. Instructions MMX, SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, SSE4.1, EM64TĪs far as memory, I have (2) 2GB sticks of G.Skill DDR2 PC2-6400 currently installed. Specification Intel® Core2 Duo CPU E8400 3.00GHz Would it be safe to assume that this is the Intel DG45ID? Also here is the info on my CPU: I am looking to build a rig for HD home movie editing, and was wondering if I could use the Dell for Unraid? I used Speccy to find some info on the motherboard. So I have a Dell Vostro 220 that I currently use as my office PC.
