I'm curios as to who did that as well..

I was referring to 6gbs of ram not Sata 3. Yes the hardware is old but I have it and I'm not doing anything with it and it's just sitting in my storage. I'm not trying to narrow my options but I just don't have 800$ to drop on a new server right now. I'm already sinking over 500$ into new...

I have tried windows 8 and I'm not a fan of it to even run it on any of my main rigs, so buying a copy for the server wouldn't interest me. I have a copy of Win7 pro that I'm no longer using so that's what i plan to use. As for the Motherboard and processor, i think it should be fine for my...

Okay looks like the board can do 0/1/0+1/JBOD raid on the board itself. Ill try and dig it out of storage this week to play with it and see what i can get it to do.

Okay so it sounds like I won't need a raid or Sata card then. Now just to find out of my board can do any form of raid or if I'll be stuck with software. I guess I could always just have all four drives installed and boot into windows as normal and use rsync to mirror them If all else fails but...

RAID ten is just two mirrored pairs correct? I've thought about that as we'll and am comfortable with that. Also hardware or motherboard raid doesn't bother me neither does software. Just want something that works and will continue to work is all.

The mother board I think I'm gonna use is one that I had in my short lived media center PC project. It's an AMD board with six sata II 3gb Ports. Its a MSI 740GM-P25 with an AMD x4 CPU. Just don't know of the Sata II will be fast enough for the demand tho? Plus once I add a DVD and a boot drive...

Or how about this card? I know it can only do raid 0/1 in Hardware.. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816115114

Not bad while streaming Pandora, and having the only (basic) package that Brighthousw will sell me cause i live way out on a lake..

S i have a quick question about rebuilding two of my trusty home servers of the past 6 years into one unit.. Pretty much i currently have a Windows Box that runs any applications i need 24/7(Torrents, Serviio, Camera DVR Viewer for remote monitor, Media player for backyard audio, Dyndns, etc)...

I'd say go this option, then add one of these on top of the plastic under the battery for added protection. http://www.amazon.com/JEGS-Performance-Products-10267-Battery/dp/B0081ZZLU0/ref=pd_sbs_auto_2
