You can buy a NAS (http://www.amazon.com/Cloud-Personal-Network-Attached-Storage/dp/B00EVVGAD0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1459448189&sr=8-1&keywords=NAs) but i would suggest not, because they are unreliable, and if you are not experienced with em they can be hard to fix. I would suggest Google Drive, $%-$10 a month for 1TB (I believe) is AMAZING.

Just copy their hardware for that budget most likely, with a few less drives naturally, but buy high capacity drives over like a bunch of 2TB drives though

 

basically 8 core intel CPU, lots of ECC memory, Case is subjective but that one seems nice with the 10 bays.

 

 

 

I edit my posts a lot, Twitter is @LordStreetguru just don't ask PC questions there mostly...

What is your budget/country for your new PC?

 

what monitor resolution/refresh rate?

 

What games or other software do you need to run?

What's ECC Memory?

Error Correcting, pretty important to keep your data safe, despite the relatively rare chance for a bit flip or something in normal RAM

What motherboard could I use a good one. I don't mine the price. Could someone recommend me one please.

And a case where I can change the drives will be perfecto. Does anyone know one?

Watch the video, that's a motherboard/CPU combo

Okay, what do you think if I look for everything I need to build it and I share the información here and you can tell me what do you think.

Maybe I'll post the información tomorrow, I don't have time today.

lol, just watch the video, copy the hardware, and you're good to go.

 

You can find the specs here

https://teksyndicate.com/videos/our-new-nas-build-40-tb-64-gb-ecc-ram

 

pecs:


And here's a forum thread about it, granted the thread/video is a bit old, but it's still going to be a solid NAS, maybe just use whatever PSU you can find that's platinum rated given your budget though.

Ok, thanks. But I would like to have more ECC Memory. But I will put more.

 

What is the SSD used for?

Would I need any monitor for the NAS to control what's un the NAS and delete it?

How could I program backups from all the PC's in my network to make a backup all days?

You only need 1gb of RAM per 1TB of storage with freeNAS, and 64gbs is probably the limit of that board

 

the SSD is for a cache, freeNAS can run solely off a USB, it doesn't need an OS drive

 

You probably want a monitor/keyboard/mouse to configure it

 

far as automatic backing up goes, I don't know, there's probably scripts people have made for freeNAS to do that

start here I guess

If you don't want to just mimic them

feel free to roast it ^^^ 

I added the cheap gpu because I don't believe the MoBo has video out and I assumed you'd use a monitor for initial set up, though you could borrow one from another rig.

Euros, not pounds
 

CPU is probably overkill

 

otherwise registered ECC only works in specific motherboards, and the motherboard needs to support ECC as well.

 

should be getting 4 TB drives, and by god is that an expensive 120gb SSD

 

Course this PSU suggestion is wrong as well, least as far as the location

"

but I wouldn't buy a NEX PSU, they're sub par overall

Get the GQ instead

Eh, if he's got the money now I think an over kill cpu is better instead of having to upgrade later, but thats up to his taste

I thought that mobo supported ECC? 

The HDDs were the cheapest per tb while still fitting 20tb in and a decent drive for nas use so I still recommend them. 

The sdd was the cheapest one I found on that, mistaken, country for an EVO without spoofing my location to shop around. 

Eh, I never used NEX and it had good ratings and a gold rating. I meant to place the 650 watt flavor not 750 oops. Although you could reevaluate the wattage after you swap the cpu for a cheaper one and ditch the gpu f you have one to temporally use.

Eh, where can I find ECC Memory's? I don't know where to find it.

I will use this CPU: Intel Xeon Processor E7-8890 v3 (Link)

I think I'll use this case: (Link)

 

What do you think?

Registered ECC is different from unbuffered/unregistered, registered will only work in the motherboards it's well, registered with.

You don't just want the cheapest hard drives, you want as large as you can afford, so you have less drives, less chance for failure, and so you can expand easily as well.
