    Just the drives alone are going to eat most of your budget - you probably want 8 drives at least so that you get good performance out of RAID 10. 3TB WD RED drives are about $110 each. 8 of those would be 24TB raw capacity, 12TB after RAID10, and since Windows uses Tib and GiB instead of TB and GB, that would give you ~10.9 TiB that you are looking for. Total cost for drives alone is $880 - and 3TB drives are currently the best cost per GB of the available capacities right now. For a system that students will rely on for schoolwork, you don't want to cheap out on a non- server motherboard, but you could go with a CPU that isn't Xeon - some of them even have ECC support, but you should look at Intel ARK for details. Since you aren't doing parity (RAID 5/6) ECC memory isn't required but still highly recommended. I imagine you are planning on using Storage Spaces for your storage, in which case you should know that a Mirror virtual drive is really like RAID 10 not RAID1, and it should usually configure itself to use all of the drives - but sometimes it has to be forced via creating the virtual disk in PowerShell. You'd be looking to create a Mirror drive with 4 columns. (The setting for Mirror, or the setting for "-numberofdatacopies 2" makes it RAID 1, the setting "-number of columns 4" makes it RAID0 across 4 drives, and a virtual disk created with both settings would be RAID10 across 8 drives). If you aren't going to use storage spaces, you need to account extra budget, at least $100, for buying a RAID controller, or get a motherboard that has one builtin - the Intel chipset builtin one only has 6 Sata ports of course - but there are boards with builtin LSI controllers.
     
    I understand that you have a limited budget, but what you are asking just isn't feasible for $1000. If you can get the Server 2012R2 license elsewhere, like a donation from a business or a grant, then you can probably get all the hardware for $1500-$1800.

    Amazingjoseph11 reacted to Enderman in I'm not sure how much wattage I need for my pc   
    750W is a big overestimate
    get a good quality 750W PSU and you will have a bunch of extra power for overclocking

    and also go with WD for your hard drive solution as they are very reliable as i even have a 7 year old PC that was donated to me from an office environment were it was used 5 days a week nealy every week of the year and it works still to this day

    how many servers are you thinking to implement because if your just looking for a home solution you could get a reasonable PC with a tooless drive bay fitted in a standard ATX case

    i recommend some thing like this for easy drive swaps in the future and as in a small case you can get more drive bays to fit all of the hard drives needed
