CHENBRO SR30169T2-250 0.8mm SGCC, Hi-PS Pedestal Compact Server Chassis for SOHO & SMB Office 250W

Pros: better than qnap

Cons: just a tight little box, gotta beat the hell out of the sides

Overall Review: why spend 1500.00 + tax for a proprietary build with security issues when freenas is all that is needed

Most Critical Review

DEEPCOOL GENOME ROG Certified Edition PC Case with Integrated 360mm Liquid Cooling System and Aura RGB Lighting System

Pros: ROG certified, a decent rad, Just enough room for Z270 Maximus Extreme Mono Block, and 2-1080 TI OC ( using EK blocks for the cards ) Has a cover for a 1300 watt power supply that is SLI certified

Cons: takes a long time to get here from New Jersey

Overall Review: keeping it ROG

ITS OK

ASUS Z170-WS LGA 1151 Intel Z170 HDMI USB 3.1 USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
ASUS Z170-WS LGA 1151 Intel Z170 HDMI USB 3.1 USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard

Pros: We use the Thunderbolt for the 2-28-inch 4K UHD monitors at 60 2- M.2 Samsung 950 NVME 500 gig mirrored with NAS water cooling loop for CPU only, easily maintain 5 gig on low voltage if it wasn't for the M.2, we would not have upgraded from the z77 chipset, we used this occasion to eliminate all sata drives and keep with NVME storage exclusively

Cons: PRICE

Overall Review: its an alright board compared to what is out there

why change from a i7 3770k

Intel Core i7 6th Gen - Core i7-6700K 8M Skylake Quad-Core 4.0 GHz LGA 1151 91W BX80662I76700K Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 530
Intel Core i7 6th Gen - Core i7-6700K 8M Skylake Quad-Core 4.0 GHz LGA 1151 91W BX80662I76700K Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 530

Pros: a couple more instructions per cycle never hurts

Cons: does the same as the i7 3770k anmd a little more/ THATS IT. no cooler

Overall Review: I bought a p8z77-v premium and put a i7 3770 k on it and never looked back, that was 4 yr ago now and the 3770k and z77- v premium motherboard have never let me down once. Its the inclusion tof m.2 spec and the fact that I need a file server which has brought me to newegg once again, no qnap or any other proprietary mobo for my server so I will use freenas of course but the components all together cost just as much as a qnap 471 which has 4k stream and thats all i needed besides the file serving capabilities

what an awsome little 4k streaming nas with 20 terabyte of realestate, and yes I put a 6700k in it LOL

GIGABYTE GA-Z170N-WIFI (rev. 1.0) LGA 1151 Intel Z170 HDMI USB 3.0 Mini ITX Intel Motherboard

Pros: I dont have time to write them all down

Cons: for what its going to be doing, none

Overall Review: was looking at the qnap ts, tvs 470 or 471 and decided due to security that we will use a none proprietary mobo later will be replacing the 6700k with a i3 somthing or other and put 6700k on z170 premium, yahoo
