August 1, 201213 yr Hi, long time lurker first time poster. I have allot of data I want to move to a dedicated server and finally decided to take the plunge and build myself an unraid server, running out of room on the main machine, share centre (1TB Mirrored) and various external USB drives. Ideally i want to make the server as quite and cool as I can. The Sever will store: Family Photos (lots), Kids homework, My Documents, ebooks, CD images, Ripped blu-ray / DVD (720p and 1080p to stream to XBMC) and anything else that can be stored. I've been looking at the following and would appreciate some advice (haven't got a massive budget, baby on way). Case: Antec P182 - Owned, Spare case CPU: AMD Sempron 145 2.8GHz Socket AM3 45W 1MB L2 Cache OEM Processor £25.98 MB: Asus M5A78L-M LX V2 Socket AM3+ onboard VGA 8 channel Audio mATX Motherboard £36.39 Crucial 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 1066MHz Memory CL7 1.5V Unbuffered None-ECC £21.06 PSU: Antec 520W High Current Gamer Modular PSU £67.41 USB: Lexar JumpDrive FireFly 4GB USB Flash Drive £4.99 HD: Currently have the following full of data i want to migrate to new server: 466GB Seagate ST3500418AS (SATA) 1863GB SAMSUNG SAMSUNG HD204UI (SATA) 1863GB Western Digital WDC WD20EARS-00MVWB0 (SATA) Total inc vat: £155.83 Came across (Future x2for more drive space, no idea if there any good): 3 Drive 3.5in Trayless Hot Swap SATA Mobile Rack Backplane (3x 3.5 for 2x 5.25) http://www.amazon.co.uk/Drive-3-5in-Trayless-Mobile-Backplane/dp/B000NMAZU0/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1343850319&sr=8-3
