Amd 740g Whs

Devilsclarinet · Dec 3, 2008

I was thinking about building a small home server running Windows home server. Do you think that a gigabyte 740G motherboard would be a good option?

Whats the server going to be used for?

System back up, media streaming and being a general bit bucket

important, wait for a 760G board would have much better graphics if any gaming at all is to be done. that is, HD3200 vs. HD2100, 760G also has new SB710. the 780G also has the better IGP, and you could get one now for pocket change more than the 740G.

in that case no need for better graphics, but still, the 780G isn'tmuch more $.

For that, the motherboard is perfect. Its even "too good"

no gaming is gonna happen on this machine, ever. pure file storage and backup. I am debating though on the hard drives. im going straight 1TB drives in an Antec 300, but what 1TB drives would offer the best price/performance ratio? consider that the server could be backing up one machine while streaming music to another and a movie to 360 or ps3.

I would highly recommend the Western Digital 1TB Black Ed right now. They can be had for 109.99 w/ free shipping @ the egg http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136284.

The only other option I could recommend for $/Performance would be the Seagate 1.5TB as long as it has the new firmware on it. 129.99 w/ free shipping http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148337.
