I have 3 computers currently in my house where 2 are being used and the third one will be upgraded to run as a server. I am wondering what DO I Need for the computer to run as a server like do I need to have 2X250 GB HDD or maybe more ?and I am wondering if I would need like a C2D or somehing that can be on 24/7 and be silent. is there also some program that I will need o set it up into a server to back up my other 2 PC's- can it be linux if so because i dont want to waste money on an OS if I already got one. budget is around $300- only thing i need is ram, hdd. (This PC currently is a sempron AM2 3000, 1 GB DDR2 G.Skill, 40 gb HDD, 500Watt roseweil PSU, and has windows xp home.) If i need another Cpu and mobo let me know but I dont think It is that crucial in this server build i just need it to run couple HDD's nicely cooled so it could back up my other systems.
thanks for anyones help.
