I am currently looking to build a NAS. This would be a pc that I build from scratch and would appreciate any help on this project. I currently put together a list of parts to buy and I was wondering what you all thought and what changes you would make.
COOLER MASTER Centurion 5 CAC-T05-UW Black Aluminum Bezel , SECC Chassis ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - Retail (I'm choosing the case due to 4 3.5" internal drive spaces) SUPERMICRO MBD-C2SBC-Q-O LGA 775 Intel Q35 ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail (I'm not sure if this is a good mobo, but I like it's features: supports 6 SATA drives, PS2 ports, Video, Raid 0/1/5/10) COOLER MASTER Real Power Pro RS-650-ACAA-A1 650W ATX Form Factor 12V V2.3 / SSI Standard EPS 12V V2.91 SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Power Supply - Retail (Not sure about this. This has 8 SATA connects) Intel Pentium E5200 Wolfdale 2.5GHz LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor Model BX80571E5200 - Retail (Go all purpose dual core processor) Patriot Extreme Performance 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model PDC22G6400ELK - Retail (I would purchase 4GB for this box) Western Digital Caviar SE WD800AAJS 80GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - OEM (system only drive. I might consider upping the size of this for certain windows based apps, like tagging music and possibly using winamp remote to stream to my xbox 360 and PS3) 3x Western Digital Caviar Black WD6401AALS 640GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive - OEM (These would be my storage drives setup in a RAID 5) LITE-ON Black SATA DVD-ROM Drive Model iHDS118-04 - OEM (not much to say about this) Is there anything that you guys would change? This computer would probably be using Windows XP Pro as I already have a Windows Server 2003 that's running as a DC, DNS and DHCP --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "NLUG" group.
