Hello,
I recently ended up with a spare socket AM3+ motherboard on my hands, and I want to build a home RAID array for backup. I am thinking of using RAID 1, and want the drives to be hot swappable so I can remove one of the redundant drives when I leave the house on vacation and place it in my safe deposit box so I don't have any risk of losing files were something to happen to my house (break in etc.). I was thinking of just using a Sempron or something cheap like that for the CPU, I have the spare parts for everything else. Anyone have a good case idea? Also I need a good gigabit capable NIC card with demand based switching. Thanks guys.
