Homeserver, NAS madness

[Kukielka]

*NAS-Name to be entered here*

 

Introduction:

Hey there guys, I'm planning on building a pretty good Home-NAS.

I plan on installing DSM 5.0 with Nanoboot. The mobo is supported so I should be good to go.

All them movies, pictures, musics, games and windows backups will be located there accessible from several local user.

For offsite-BackUp ill be running a headless CrashPlan Client on the system with a single license.

 

Specs:

CPU: Any Xeon 4-Core + HT for 1150

Mobo: AsRock E3C224D2I

Ram: 16gb ECC Ram of a trusted manufaturer

HDDs: 4x 6TB WD Red (maybe better HDDs will be released when I buy the parts, we'll see)

Case: need some help here, Maybe the U-Nas 400? I want them pci slots :3 But definitely mITX

PSU: Any ~200W Platinum or better PSU

PCIe: Fiber NIC so once I move to a place with fiber I can also use it as my router (not sure on that one though)

 

I gladly accept recommendations, for both the name and the specs

As soon as I bought all the parts pictures of the building process will be posted.

 

Greets!

Why so much RAM? You'd be fine with an i3 or an i5.

Not really a NAS, more of a server Try having some 64GB SSDs as caches with Intel RST.

Well, DSM was build for NAS applications in the beginning, I say screw that, that things gonna be my home server

I wanted to use a small ssd for DSMs SSD Cache, not sure if I can use the same SSD for both RST and the DSM functionality.
