Hi guys, I've finally had enough of problems with my SC101 Netgear drives (well the drives are fine, but the drivers cuase me all sorts of problems!) So I'm going to build myself a 'server' once more (should never have gotten rid of the old one!)
It's main purpose will be file storage, including video and audio media which will be streamed to the laptop downstairs for use on the Samsung 1080p LCD.
My selections so far are as follows:
I'll be RAID-1ing the 80Gigs for the OS (Probably Ubuntu) and RAID-5 the 750s for data.Code:PSU £46.99 500W Silverstone Case £64.61 Sharkoon Rebel Mobo £44.00 GA-G31M-S2L CPU £43.01 E2160 775 RAM £35.00 PC4200 (2x1GB) OS Drives £57.70 2x80GB Seagate 8.9ms Data Drives £296.52 3x750GB Samsung Drive Cases £34.50 CoolerMaster V6 Silver Drive Ctrl £59.00 4P Promise £681.33
£681 is a little more than i had hoped, any ideas on how to trim this down, whilst maintaining performance enough to handle the data throughput?
