Ok. So i have been lurking a minute around here and I thought I would post a build of my Home Server as it qualifies for the top 20 list.

Little History:::
Started in a ANTEC 600 case with 4 2TB WD Ears Drives (Dumbest Mistake Along the way). It was a freenas box running 7.something and 8 came out a week later. Drives were ZFS.

System had a 5 bay Hotswap rack hotfitted into the top and I expanded to 6 drives (All New Hitachi Deckstars) with a RocketRaid 3530 Controller. Operating system was changed for WHS2011.

And teh final Stage as it sits right now.

Operating Changed again and now is Win 7 X64. 5 Blu-Ray Drives were Added, a second 5bay hotswap deck. And The case was upgraded to a LianLi PC 393B.

Current Stats:::::::::
Case: Lian-Li PC393B
PSU: Corsair 650TX
Motherboard: MSI Something. Just a cheap $50 board.
CPU: AMD Athlon X4 3.0ghz
RAM: 8gb Mushkin
GPU: Onboard
Controller Cards: RocketRaid 3530
Optical Drives: 5x Blu-Ray Samsung Drives
Hard Drives: 9 x 3TB Hitachi GST Deskstar 0S03230 Raid6 250GB Boot (Something I had Laying Around)
Operating System: Windows 7



The Plan is to upgrade to a NORCO Rack Unit. I just ordered one. Change out teh RocketRaid to LSI or Adaptec. Followed by adding another 7 drives.

What will you do with the blu-ray drives? For that matter, what do you need five of them for?
 
I am actually going to to run this setup in a much smaller fashion. it will be running just basic Linux on a single core. But I will rebuild another computer into a gaming monster and leave the 5 drives in. I have a monster collection of blurays and its faster to just have 5 drives to rip all of them. I had MyMovies running and it automated everything. This computer hogs power as is. So if i downgrade it to a SOLID nas i can alleviate some of that issue then just run the gaming computer when I want to mass convert movies.
 
5 x Bluray drives. I smell Netflix rent&ripper
 
Military Overseas. Netflix takes over a week to get here. Not worth the money at that point. But nah. I built this while I was here.
