Home server build ideas.

evil_lincoln107 · March 15, 2015

Today I got my hands on an old Hewlett Pakard NetServer4d/66 LM and I am thinking of using the case to build a home server in it. I am looking for suggestions in terms of what hardware to use in it. I will have a budget of roughly $1500 AUD. I won't need anything in terms of peripherals and monitors or anything as i have some old ones laying around the house.

First question would be what do you want to use it for?

from a quick google it seems like it doesnt accept standard motherboards, so you're gonna have to do some modding to fit modern hardware in there.

and what hardware you want to get is very dependant on what exactly you're planning to do with it.

Sorry I forgot that part. I looking to build a media server to store and stream media off. It would need to be able to handle streaming movies to three seperate sources simultaniosly.
