    Ups               CyberPower CP1000AVRLCD UPS
    Case              PC-Q11B from Lian Li

But, They used Some Older versions Hardware's, so I try to find out New One Based on our Older Requirement.

    You want to build a FreeNAS Server? Do you have any other requirements besides OS? Because all x86 and x86_64 systems support FreeBSD

I've seen people use that board so it does work. I don't have any experience with it so I can't tell you how "plug-and-play" it is.

Your motherboard and your processor don't match though, so you will be unable to use that hardware together.

  • @Rajkumar.E Yes, the P67 chipset on the motherboard supports that CPU. There should be no problems at all. Maybe you should edit the question. Nov 18, 2016 at 9:20
