Hi Folks!
I am looking to build my first server and would love some advice on a SFF parts list!
Budget: I would like to keep it under $400 if possible (not including drives).
Drives: I currently have 3 2TB drives I can pull from my main PC to use and would like to be able to expand to 6-7 drives eventually.
Purpose: File serving for my HTPC, Sabnzbd, sickbeard, couchpotato, torrenting
My goal is to keep this mITX if possible. I love SFF builds and the smaller the better!
Parts List (Newegg):
CPU: intel core i3 2100 - $125 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115078
Mobo: Zotac H67ITX-C-E 1555 - $125 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813500064
Case: Lian-Li Q08 - $110 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811112265
RAM: 8GB (2x4GB) 1600 DDR3 Ram - Have from previous build
PSU: Corsair CX430 - $25 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139026
While I would like to keep it ITX and use the Lian-Li Q08, I would be open to going microATX and getting a larger case like the Lian-Li v354 or A04.
Any advice is most welcome! Is this overkill for the purpose? Are there better ways to achieve my goals?
Thanks!
