Uber file server build -- suggestions?
I'm currently in the process of buying stuff for my file server build. Going to try and keep this build all in one thread this time.
Stuff already bought:
Looking for suggestions on:
That's all I can think of for now...unless I'm forgetting something...oh and one more thing -- I will be buying the hard drives two at a time as I run out of space. Also the PCI-E RAID card will be bought a lot later down the line, as I've only just got enough hard drives for 1 out of 6 of my PCI SATA cards.
Any suggestions, feel free to post. Thanks
I'm currently in the process of buying stuff for my file server build. Going to try and keep this build all in one thread this time.
Stuff already bought:
Motherboard (socket 1155 H61)
RAM (1600MHz)
PCI SATA cards
Operating System (Windows 8 + FreeNAS)
SSD
CPU (35w Pentium Ivybridge 2.6GHz)
Looking for suggestions on:
GPU -- use the on-die GPU or buy a PCI-E graphics card (was thinking of a 7750)? My only requirement is that it is able to run 1080p mkv files and play Blurays without a problem.
Case -- needs to hold as many 3.5" drives as humanly possible (more than 10 at least), while not being too expensive
PSU -- needs to be able to run over 40 SATA HDDs as well as 6xPCI RAID cards and 1xPCI-E 2.0 RAID card. Silver, Gold or Platinum?
CPU Cooler -- fanless or not?
Case fans
