Building a NAS

[xenic]

As said in the title I'm planning to build a NAS for my small business at home (nothing too fancy).

I'd rather build one myself than buying a pre-built one. 

 

Requirements:

- Components need to be bought new as I need to make some costs for the business. 

- Able to make automatic backups from several computers

- Maybe some streaming capability for personal use.

 

Any suggestions for components and OS?

 

Thanks

How much storage? What network speed

 

Id really suggest prebuilt, there normally a better solution here, esp without much experience.

4-8TB should be plenty.

As stated i'm not interested in prebuilt.

Just need a suggestion on a motherboard, cpu and os

Then id go with a basic pentium chip on a board like this one.
