I've been planning this build for a while, and I think I'm ready to jump on it.

This is the build I have come up with. It is primarily going to be a NAS that will store computer backups, home videos/pictures, and might do some light ftp duty. It might also host a small game server here and there.

 

CPU - Intel Xeon X5670 - $40

Mobo - LGA 1366 mATX (Not really sure who makes it) - $110

Storage - Two 4TB Western Digital Red (RAID 1) / Some OS SSD - $280 total

PSU - EVGA 400W N1 - Free

NIC - Dual Port Gigabit Ethernet PCI-E X4 - $15

RAM - 16GB ECC DDR3 - Free

NOTE: Most of these parts will be sourced off ebay, hence there being no links.

 

I'm still new to server requirements so if someone could look this over that would be great.

 

EDIT: I'll probably pick up a CM Hyper 212 Evo as well.
