I want to build a server from which I can stream files and for connecting to a file share with DC++ or something similar. I'd like to have at least 8TB of storage space.
My budget for parts, not including the hard drives, is $200. I already purchased a case and some RAM a while ago because they were severely discounted, but I am willing to not use them if I can get recommendations on other parts.
The case I have is this one: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0059205KE/?tag=pcpapi-20
The memory is this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820148149&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=
I need help picking out a motherboard, CPU, and power supply.. I plan on using a RAID 5 and I don't have any idea what parts I should buy to do this, or even if this is my best option. Any help would be very appreciated.
I'm definitely willing to use parts other than the ones I already have, but either way my budget is still $200.
If possible, it would be cool to have enough room in my budget for a small SSD, just to boot off of.
Thanks in advance for any help and suggestions you can offer.
