I would like to build a desktop media center / server for home.
I will be using this to host some open source coding I am doing. I will be setting up redmine, svn, ubuntu 13, openvpn, apache.
I would also like to use it as a media center.
I would like to have a raid setup. mirrored. Any reason not to do this? I see a lot of solid state drives now. is that a better way to go for the os?
Approximate Purchase Date: this week
Budget Range: 1000 after shipping
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Media, apache webserver for small programming project
Are you buying a monitor: No
Do you need to buy OS: No, ubuntu 13
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: amazon or newegg
Location: Florida, Boca
Parts Preferences: AMD processor, WD disk drives, Kingston memory
Overclocking: NO
SLI or Crossfire: ?? not sure what this is even.
no monitor
Additional Comments: I would like a quiet PC.
I could buy something from zareason for around 1000. That is my bugdet.
Do any of you experts have a recommendation?
