Hello folks,
first of all hello. and im new here but i wont use this fact as excuse. Im fan of everything free and open sourced.
Lets start. I have right now all possible stuff on several HDDs and decided to get NAS since its mess. First i started to look on QNAP devices but didnt like the limitations and prices of any of those products. Ive been reading several times some stickies and finally decided to register on forum to confirm, by me selected configuration for home NAS. I understand that NAS is not a backup system, so for family stuff and documents i will use two simple USB HDDs like WD Essential or similar.
Purpose:
Configuration:
Motheboard: €190 Asrock E3C226D2I
CPU: 102€ Intel® Core™ i3-4160 Processor(3M Cache, 3.60 GHz)
RAM: €207 2x Crucial 8GB DDR3 1600MHz CL11 ECC Unbuffered
PSU: €83 Seasonic G Series 450W
CASE: €67 Fractal Design Node 304 Black
USB: €5 Cruzer Fit™ USB Flash Drive
---------------------
TOTAL: € 654
For HDD im not decided yet but i consider WD Red 2TB or 3TB vs Seagate Constellation 2TB or 3TB (will see how much money i can put int HDDs)
TOTAL: €708 for 6x Western Digital Red 3000GB 64MB cache
I welcome any opinion on this, even YES or NO for the config is alot. Thanks for any suggestions and sorry if i double posted or something not by the book.
best regards
Aiki

Purpose:
- LAN streaming of movies on 1-3 devices (TV, Laptop, Tablet) at same time,
- storage for family photos, videos
- download station for torrents
- cloud for PC/Tablet/Smartphone
- maybe some Virtualization for home mail or webserver?
- under 500€ (lower is better so if under 300€ or 400€ is possible, i would be happy)
