Full Version: Sanity check on hardware please.

Just a quick sanity check before ordering. I am using that case because in the end it will have 3tbx4 harddrives in it plus the boot ssd. If you have a better suggestion on the case I would love to hear it. I am making it an all in one unit; storage + xbmc + light gaming. I plan to run a few services on it, sql, web, and sabnbz. (I can think off the top of my head) Should I run windows 7 or linux on this? I am comfortable with ether os just wondering witch one will work better. Please comment on any failings you see here.

Will this space be over kill or sufficient? I have quite a few blueray disks and I do not know how to calc the size needed to be reasonable.

Thank you in adv.

Do you not like the brand chosen or do you think it is too small for the job. Would this do better?

This is pulled from your own thread: here : SeaSonic SS-400ET 80+ Bronze 400W ATX12V ($43 + $9)

Cheaping on on the power supply can mean quite a few things, please elaborate. Though I have been thinking of using an zalman ps as I have always had a good experience with that.

Thank you for the comment on the build, but what about the proc/mb will they carry my use or do you think i should look at an intel?

This one seems to have reviewed very well. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...6817151095
