All 6-bay units have a display on the front. If you want to upgrade the CPU in a system running 4.2.x the best unit to get is a Pro 6. But you replace the CPU at your own risk.

I am looking at pro 6, I understand the risks also, I have been upgrading hacking stuff for many moons. From the pictures when they are off it was hard to tell that the top piece was part of the display, I see that now.

I just enjoy doing stuff like that, I have the ultra 2 and thought it would be nice to have more bays and came across the CPU upgrade, I am wanting to run plex in the future and that would be a good fit if I can find one at the right price, I don't need many of the bells and whistles just something that is reliable running NFS to serve up my data. I may end up just staying with my ultra 2 and spooling up a vm to run plex on, I have a 16 core box that I fold on that I could fire up a VM but thought that this might be something fun to play with. :)
