I'm trying to build a new home server to replace my HP with proprietary hardware. I want to go mini ITX so I can keep the footprint very small, but I want to be able to do the following:
raid 5 (with 4 drives or more)
gigabit ethernet
2 ram slots (I want to put in 2GB now and be able to upgrade later)
eSATA
onboard video of any kind (not for gaming, just for setup. I will use RDP to get into it later.)
My other main requirement is to keep the cost down. So far I have only found this Intel board:
Intel BOXDQ45EK LGA 775 Intel Q45 Mini ITX Intel M...
I can get this for $130 plus a new CPU for it for less than $50. If I can find a different socket type that meets these needs and still costs less than $180 for both the CPU and board, that would work, too.
Thanks
