Building a new simple Server
Hi there,
I haven't been dealing with hardware for quite a while now (2 years).
I want to build a basic file server that will provide access to files on a central server, and also it must run some Windows based applications.
This is what I have specified so far...
• Processor
o Intel P4 775 (as P4 478 has been discontinued)
o 3.0GHz or above
o Retail package (with warranty and fan)
• Hard Drive
o SATA connection NOT IDE
o 74GB or more
o Western Digital
o 10,000rpm
• Optical Drive
o Must be a DVD-RW
• Motherboard
o Socket 775
o SATA connections
o IDE connections
o Allow 1024MB of ram or more
o Network card
o USB ports
• Memory
o 1024MB (2 x 512MB Matched Pair)
o Ideally Corsair
• Case
o 330Watt PSU or above
o Good ventilation
I'm unsure which CPU to get with which motherboard...
I was looking at getting an Intel Pentium 4 630 3.0Ghz 800Mhz 2mb (Socket 775), but was unsure which motherboard to go for.
I am looking for mainly recommendations of motherboard, but if anyone can help me with any other recommendations, that would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
