Looking into buying some hardware for a storage server. Looking at getting a Xeon e3-1220, but looking into the AMD's since all the newer CPU's support ECC memory as well.

So if you have an older AMD system you need to get rid of that supports ECC let me know. Would like to keep the motherboard and CPU under 200$. Depends a lot on what it is though. Will need ram as well.

What OS do you plan on using? If FreeNAS, as many like to use, skip the AMD choice. It works but it's unsupported.
 
Might be a bit above your budget but I am selling this:

FS/T: 8 bay NAS System, matx server

matx Supermicro socket 1155 system $325+shipping
This would make a good little virtulization server. Nearly silent.
  • SYS-5037C-I Pedestal Server SUPERMICRO SYS-5037C-I Server Barebone
  • Intel® Xeon® Processor E3-1240 v2 (8M Cache, 3.40 GHz)
  • 4x8GB (32GB) ECC DDR3 UDIMM

I plan on just using a raid card and installing windows. So AMD shouldn't have an issue with that.

I have considered doing a software raid as well. But if there is a good deal on an AMD setup, I can give up on that and just use the raid card i have.

Ya I have a custom case i am building for this little server I have planned. If you had just the internal components i would probably be interested. I do wanna stay with one socket setups though, just to keep down on power usage.
 
Well I have been following an ebay thread for a while and ended up buying this SuperMicro X9SCL + Xeon E3-1220 V1 + 4x 2GB DDR3 ECC RAM for 141$ shipped. I think it should work great for a file server and able to trascode videos for Plex server without a hiccup.

I still will be looking for some ram. Supermicro says it takes 1333/1600MHz*** ECC DDR3 SDRAM 72-bit, 240-pin. I have read supermicro boards can be picky though.

Would like to fill it with 4 x 8GB sticks. But don't want to spend the cash till it is needed. Would be willing to buy one set of 8GB sticks and run with 20 GB of ram for now though.
