My final system build comes from the ‘Guide to building a HD HTPC‘ on the AVSforum. That person put together a great guide and has everything I need. I am using what he recommended except for what I have put in bold below. Any help you can offer on the PSU is greatly appreciated as I think the PSU he recommended might be overkill.
- Case: NORCO RPC-450B Black 4U Server Rackmount Chassis
- PSU: Corsair TX650W CMPSU-650TX 650W Seems a little much
- CPU: Pentium G620 2.6GHz 2C/2T 65W LGA 1155. I will be using the i3-2100T based on your recommendations.
- CPU Cooler: Stock Cooler
- Motherboard: Intel DB65AL LGA 1155 Intel B65 chipset microATX. I will be using the Intel BOXDH61BEB3 board based on your recommendations.
- Memory: G.SKILL F3-12800CL9D-4GBNQ DDR3-1600 CL9 2 x 2GB Kit
- HBA: HighPoint Rocket 620 2-port SATA 6.0Gb/s Controller PCI Express x1 Card
- HBA: Supermicro AOC-SASLP-MV8 8-port SAS/SATA 3.0Gb/s Controller PCI Express x4 Card
- Cable: 0.5m SFF-8087 to Four SATA Forward Breakout Cable (e.g. 3ware CBL-SFF8087OCF-05M)
- Cable: 0.5m SFF-8087 to Four SATA Forward Breakout Cable (e.g. 3ware CBL-SFF8087OCF-05M)
- Mounter: SYBA SY-MRA25018 2.5??SATA HDD Tray Less Mobile Rack for PCI Slot (attaching the 2.5″ HDD (HDD A) for OS to an empty expansion slot).
- HDD for OS: Seagate Momentus 7200.4 ST9250410AS 250GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s mobile

How many HDD are you planning for? It appears the chassis supports 10 3.5″ bays. With all the SATA ports from motherboard plus add-in cards you listed, you’ll have 16 SATA ports to play with.
