Heffa Posted June 1, 2017 Share Posted June 1, 2017 I'm looking to build a basic server that will only be used for CCTV recording (2 cameras using the UniFi docker) and file backup using the CrashPlan docker. This is a bit different to my previous builds which were all geared towards SFF and Plex streaming. This time the case will be a standard ATX tower with no need for hot swap.There will be only 4 drives to start with (1 SSD + 3 HDD) with the possibility of adding a few additional drives in the future. I'm looking for a CPU/Mobo/Ram combo that will meet the above criteria at a low price. Something with 6-8 SATA ports will do fine. Things like ECC memory are unnecessary. Any suggestions?

Greygoose Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Hi heffa, I have a dell power edge t20, I changed the psu and added a SATA card. I use the system to record 2x 1080p IP Cameras. Maybe an option, the system was on discount in uk. Quote Link to comment
