Hey guys,
I have some spare parts lying around after I did some upgrading on my gaming pc, so I want to repurpose them and make a small server for media purposes (mostly for videos and storing backup data if possible). Here are the parts I have so far:
AMD FX-6100 3.3Ghz CPU
Asus M5A78m-lx plus motherboard (mATX)
Cougar spike mATX tower
Kingwin 650w PSU ( I decided to not use this in my gaming pc because it was not recommended by a lot of people for gaming; rarely been used but it should work fine; if you think something else would work feel free to shoot me suggestions)
What do you guys suggest for storage, ram, and OS? I wanted to try RAID 0 with 2 1TB HDD's but I've only read articles about it; never set it up before.
Any help would be appreciated. This is new ground for me building-wise and I hope it turns out well.
