looking to make a cheap and low power vm server build for home
its going to run
1) pfsense
2) some type of nas software - xpenology or unraid (need own cloud)
3) some type of proxy vm to route things via my vpn service
build is as follows:
existing antec case with 350w psu from an old core 2 or p4 build (cannot remember)
Athlon 5350
Asus A1Mm-A MATX (I wanted to get the asrock am1b-itx, but none of the canadian sites seem to have it in stock)
8gb kingston
ebay intel dual nic @ pcie 4x
128gb sandisk ssd - boot drive
existing si3124 sata card @ 4x sata
3x 1gb HD (have already) for raid 5
to use the intel nic and the spare sata card, i need to get the matx board vs itx
wanted to use exsi 5.5 or 6, but may have to patch it for the sata card.
pfsense will be the router / squid 3 filter
i need owncloud, so xpensology looks like the easiest way t get it going with a raid 5 type setup for redundancy. the asrock board had 4x sata. since the asus has only two, i need to use this old sata card.
i need to setup some other type of vm appliance to act as a proxy to route a house full of torrenting, popcorn time, etc through torguard. basically something I can configure all installations of vuze, etc to connect to and use as a seperate ip on my network.
i wanted to fit this all in one machine. i can build a seperate celeron j1900 based setup for the nas, but would rather not.
any thoughts? suggestions?
