    This obviously isn't fully done in these pictures, I still had to put in the PSU and organize the cables a bit better.

    I chose the 620 because it was 50 dollars at microcenter. I found an extremely small usb stick to install the OS on. You can barely even see it when it's plugged in. I got 16GB because I like to overkill things, I'm sure 8GB is fine for what I have. I don't plan on expanding this box at all...

    I live on the third floor of an apartment building. It gets a bit warm for sure. I live in minnesota, so it's not like down south or anything.

    One more question before all my parts arrive today and tomorrow. I'm picking up the CPU at Microcenter, and I was wondering if I should be buying an aftermarket cooler for it. Something low-profile and real quiet, but better CFM then the stock. If so, which ones, and what thermal paste to go...

    Woops, no idea how I missed that. Also, do those components look correct? Should I alter my build in any way?

    NAS or bigger server?

    Hello all, thanks for all the help! I have learned a lot reading through this thread and many others. I still have a couple questions. I am thinking about using FreeNAS. What do I install that OS on? I have seen that people used a usb pen, do I need to find an adapter that would install...

    I was looking at that motherboard earlier, my only thought about that is it only has 4 SATA ports. Is there a way to get more, so I can use the full 5 hot-swap?

    NAS or bigger server?

    I used the paper clip method and the PSU was able to run a fan, but on my motherboard, the power indicator keeps flashing. I've read that that probably means my old PSU is done. I think I have a case I want to build in, the Lian=Li PC-Q25B It has a 5-bay hot-swap, which seems like a great...

    Edit: It seems upon further reading, that my old psu is probably bad.

    Feel free! I'm glad I'm not the only one in this predicament. I just had to do some car repairs, so it may be some time before I have enough money to really invest in this, but that just means I have more time to research and buy and use the best possible technologies for my needs.

    Wow, that sounds really interesting, especially the software RAID and flexibility of that. Does it accept all different sizes of HDD's? Also, how easy is it to access from a windows computer, either from a LAN or remotely? I'm quite interested actually. You didn't put a link up, so I'll try...

    Yeah, that's what I was thinking as well loosegravel, I was just concerned that it would be worth more to put that money towards a full server instead. I'm not sure.
