Want to update my home server hardware at minimal cost.
1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc
Home server running WHS 2011. Used for backup storage, print server, and media streaming.
2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included?
As low as possible. Trying for no more than $300.
3) Which country do you live in? If the U.S, please tell us the state and city if possible.
Columbus, OH
4) What exact parts do you need for that budget? CPU, RAM, case, etc. The word "Everything" is not a valid answer. Please list out all the parts you'll need.
CPU, motherboard, RAM, PSU, case
5) If reusing any parts, what parts will you be reusing? Please be especially specific about the power supply. List make and model.
Hard drives - 2 WD Green 2TB's, 1 Seagate Green 2TB, Samsung 840 120GB for OS.
6) Will you be overclocking?
Nope
7) What is the max resolution of your monitor? What size is it?
N/A
8) When do you plan on building/buying the PC?
ASAP
9) What features do you need in a motherboard? RAID? Firewire? Crossfire or SLI support? USB 3.0? SATA 6Gb/s? eSATA? Onboard video (as a backup or main GPU)? UEFI? etc.
Nothing fancy; enough SATA connections for 6 hard drives or more.
10) Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license? If yes, what OS? Is it 32bit or 64bit?
Have WHS 2011
I was looking at building something around an Intel Pentium G2020 or similar. Looking for power-sipping and quiet.
Thanks!
