I am very new to DIY NAS, having just realized earlier this week that I could build one on my own. Originally, I had researched and found an off the shelf model that I liked, but didn't have the money. I've been watching ebay for the past year, but haven't come across any listings that fit into my budget. I am trying to put together one for home use, mainly laptop backups (currently 2 with more to add as my children grow) and streaming media. I was directed to various posts and stickies for general information. I have an idea of some components I would like to use, but I want to make sure they are compatible with each other and will work for what I intend to use the NAS for.
Case: Cooler Master Elite 120 Advanced - Mini-ITX
Power Supply: Corsair CX430
RAM: Corsair Vengeance
Motherboard: ASRock E35oM1
Processor: Intel Core i3-3220T
I am not nearly as good or knowledgeable about hardware as I am about software, so please tell me if I missed any components, if anything isn't compatible, if something I have listed is unnecessary, or if a component is not good to use.
Thank you very much for your help,
Matthew
