Hello all,
I think components is the appropriate forum for this build. However, if it belongs somewhere else please feel free to move it to the according section.
I am currently building a "future-proofed" file server using a Norco RPC 4020 case. Yep, that's a case with 20 bays. Aside from the case I was wondering a bit more about the components. Can I go ahead and place "desktop" components in this and call it a day - or am I better off actually buying "server" components.
I am aware the only difference for "server" components is that they are for 24/7 uptime.
As of right now I have the following on hand:
These are the following "server" items I was taking a look at. Please let me know if anything could be substituted (I know it's limited) with things I already have.
