Is one of those motherboards put together in todays markets using older Chipsets that you can pick up for real cheap ?

 

As its also a plex server, are you storing your data on a NAS ? I only ask as your internal storage is small but I guess it depends on the size of your Plex library

No NAS. Everything is on those drives, atm have 3.6Tb free space left with room to expand for 2 more drives.

 

 

Board is that type, based on c602 chipset though.

Sweet, I personally use as a NAS for my mass storage, so I run all my Plex media off of that. Never had an issue fortunately.
