HI, im making some server build for my friend and his budgets is £500 not £700....i dont know how to change the title...... I just wondered if anyone has any suggestions on what i should buy and build for him. The server will all be used for file hosting and emails...essentially a central hub to connect all his respective computers to so that he can access his files anywhere in the house from their desktop pc's and laptops. I live in the uk so all parts must be available here for their quoted price. heres what i came up with

i would be running the 2 2tb harddrives in raid 0 with the OS running on te 500gb harddrive...

i dont think he needs super fast os load times the pc will be left on almost 24/7...also i needed a board that supported raid naively....

 

 

h87 board and pentium g3220 but isn`t that the purpose of a NAS ?? yeah tell him to buy a nas

 

that board a cpu would work be cheaper, ill chang to that and also he also wants to run windows and use the computer for other stuff aswell like hosting emails. It will be an all in one server not just file hosting.

SSD's handle 24/7 use better than consumer grade drives.

really.... how? also i cant load it with 2tb ssds as that would cost too much.....a standard 500gb should be enough for os whilst all the major file read/writes occur on the 2 2tb harddrives that are running in raid 0....

 

This is what im currently going for now....

OS uses many small reads and writes and that kills hard drives. Linus said this in WAN show, he uses intel SSD's for OS now.
