Hey all, i'm planning on doing a media server for a home. The plan is lots of storage, and to use Ceton InfiniTV cards to provide cable tv via xbox/ceton echo extenders. No actual tv will be hooked up to this computer, but i believe i have to run Windows 7 on it. Please check out the specs and let me know.
Norco RPC-4220 4U Rackmount Server Chassis
.
Areca ARC-1680IX-24-2G
.
MSI Z77A-GD80 Motherboard
.
Intel Core i7 Processor
.
Seasonic X-Series X-1050W Power Supply
.
Corsair Vengenance 16GB Ram Kit
.
2x Intel 520 120GB SSD
.
20x Western Digital Caviar Black WD2002FAEX 2TB Hard Drives
.
Norco RL-26 Heavy Duty Slide Rails
The plan is to install the 2 Intel SSDs in Raid 1, and most likely do 2 Raid 6s and a global hotspare for the storage. 2 or 3 Ceton InfiniTVs will be installed, and shared via this computer. The storage will be used to store all the recordings that are initiated by the extenders, and some ripped blu-rays and dvds. There will most likely be 6-8 extenders running off of this system, all with a wired gigabit ethernet network.
Feel free to offer any upgrades/advice. - Bill
