Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

I'd rather go with a little more bang for the buck since this is my senior year. Am I to understand the Opteron would be the one?- fashizzlepop

I would love to cover those topics, Danny, especially the security part because I am already a "hacker" per se. Though this is a highschool and if we bought that hardware there's no one to teach me/us. I would have to self teach. Are there enough sources online or elsewhere where we could...- fashizzlepop

That case looks bad ass. Lol. This project in a nutshell: I am a TA for a Intro to IT class and basically spend all day doing stuff on my own. My teacher doesn't really teach the class anything because she doesn't think the kids can handle more than a few hours on a topic at a time. So she...- fashizzlepop

Thanks, Danny. I prefer the desktop case look but if it requires different hardware then I can easily pass. And yes, we will most likely need a new case. I don't mind purchasing a new case and I like your reasoning for 5 hard drives. That sounds good to me. This WILL be kept up by me...- fashizzlepop

Sorry, again something my friend through together with your suggestions. He doesn't know nearly as much as you guys do. Unfortunately I think this is a 2U and cannot hold more than 2 HDDs. That's said, I would like to aim for a desktop case and setup. I'm getting some mixed suggestions and I...- fashizzlepop

Sorry, didn't have a ruler with me today. :) We really don't know who will really use it and for what media files. :/ Best guess is a bunch of youtube sized/quality videos, maybe some music, maybe a little HD/DVD quality. We'll see. Here are our new specs (would this work better than tiraides'...- fashizzlepop

Our case fits a http://www.afterdawn.com/products/product_details.cfm/3979/zalman_zm300b-aps I'm not sure how to tell Us. Yes it is rackmount. There's no model number. It has many mob screws so it should fit even the biggest mobos. The specs I suggested were made up by my friend who thinks he...- fashizzlepop

If I can squeeze out some more horse power for a little more money, I'd love to. :) This is a brand new project. We have no predictions on usage yet. We want stuff to be fast when there is only one or two jobs, and we want it to NOT be slow with more than two. Does that make sense?- fashizzlepop

Thanks tiraides. Looks good. A few questions: 1. Will the CPU be able to handle a large amount of media converting fairly easily? Would there be anything to upgrade for better performance in that area? 2. We are going to be running Arch so I don't think a large drive for the OS will be that...- fashizzlepop

Arch Linux with regular codec conversion software. It might be a menagerie of programs but that will be sorted with the site. I haven't looked too thoroughly but I am sure there is plenty to chose from. Arch has EVERYTHING. lol "mainstream consumer-level products" such as...? This is just...- fashizzlepop
