Alright, I've been tossing around the idea of building a personal file server/NAS. Basically the requirements are that it be cheap (relatively), have very low power consumption, and be fast enough (basically just file transfer/videos, not running games off it). So here's what I've come up with:
Ultra Mini Tower
Sempron 64 2600+ Palermo
5X 250 GB SATA HDD in RAID5 (1 TB with 1 drive redundancy)
1X 45 GB HDD (system drive)
cheap/dependable mobo ?
probably rip 256 MB memory from another system unless someone can convince me otherwise
use one of the PSUs I have lying around
Any thoughts or suggestions are welcome.
