I don't know if the computer that I want to build will work as I want or run as well as I hope, but that is why I want some suggestions. Conditions 1-4 are a must. Condition 5 is what I would like as long as it does not hinder conditions 1-4.
1. I want to setup a share drive on this computer on my network for anyone on their own networks to access and copy from the share drive and I may give a few individual users from their network rights to add to the share drive is that possible or do I have to setup my other wireless router for people to connect to a network I setup for the share drive access?
2. The computer will be a constantly downloading and also maybe hosting files for others to download by software kind of like utorrent, bit-torrent etc.
3. I want as many hot-swappable 3.5 SAS or SATA HHD's bays as possible. I want two 500GB as the OS array and set to raid0 and then at least 4 2TB HHD's at raid 5 or 6 for the share drive array and then add more HHD's to the share drive array as need for more storage.
4. I want the cost under $5,000.
5. Its not necessary but I may want to use it to install and play Elder Scrolls Online so I don't have to buy another separate computer just to play it. Because my current laptop will not handle the game and I would be killing two birds with one stone.
I also need suggestions on what OS to use. Do I need a server OS or just a regular OS? FYI I an familiar with Windows Server Enterprise 2008 R2.
