I'm looking at building a home server or nas for storing my media and running plex. I have picked up 2 10 TB WB easystore drives from best buy that I'll shuck. I'm trying to decide if I want to make it a server or a Freenas/Unraid box. I've seen some people in the trade forum selling some cheap server licenses. It would be nice to have a home server to work on. I also noticed that Freenas has an option for running VMs. I could use that option to run a linux or windows VM to handle media ripping and encoding. The Freenas option probably be cheaper.
What do you guys think of the build? I know it is an older cpu, but I'm trying to put some old stuff to use.
This box is made using old parts I had laying around and some I got used.
Antec P183 case
Intel Core i7-920 2.67 GHz LGA1366 cpu
Prolima Megahalems cooler
Asus P6T6 WS Revolution motherboard
6 GB ram (have more to add)
Antec CP-850 power supply (came with case)
240 GB Sansdisk SSD Plus (brand new)
2 10 TB WD Easystore external drives (brand new, will shuck)
Blu-ray optical drive
