I've seen some great feedback on build recommendations and wanted to take my crack at it. I am a home user who currently uses one of those consumer board (x86) builds and would like to upgrade to a proper server. I don't run torrents and really just store files and stream movies. I build a NewEgg list based on some of the threads on this board and would love feedback on what I've compiled. My build comes with some sticker shock, so if there are areas where I could cut back, I'd love to hear it.
Currently, I have a RAID 5 setup with 3 1TB drives but have read that RAID 10 is that way to go. That's what I had in mind with this next attempt.
Thanks in advance.
