Hello folks,
This is my first attempt building something from scratch. Here's the requirement so far
1) File server/NAS appliance with 5 HDDs (supporting eSATA with capacity of 2TB each) with Raid-4
2) One SSD drive for boot
3) Dedicated Raid controller
4) Backup server
5) Media server
6) Blu ray drive
7) Would be connected to my onkyo receiver for playing media files and watching movies from
blu-ray drive
Can someone recommend me a build that would satisfy above requirements. At this point i'm
not interested in making it a gaming build, but if i need to go for better graphics card to play personal media or blu ray movies, then i would consider that. I'm also looking for recommendations for NAS software and media player that would be needed to achieve the above functionality.
Thank your very much for helping this newbie
