Compability Check for new Home Server Build

[rannday]

I'm planning on building a tiny Mini-ITX, 24/7 home server. I won't need a monitor (have one), mouse or OS (linux - no graphics).

I have all the parts in mind, just wondering if they'll all go together. Here they are.

Motherboard - Intel BOXD2550MUD2 Intel Atom D2550
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813121643

RAM - Mushkin Enhanced Essentials 4GB (2 x 2GB)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820226019

SSD - ADATA Premier Pro SP900
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820211601

Case - IN WIN BQS656.DD120BL
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811108417

Keyboard - LITE-ON SK-1788/BS
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823107120

Comes out to $275.95 + $16.46 shipping. Not too bad a price, I think, for what I need. Now I just hope it's all compatible. Please let me know what you think.

What kind of server is this going to be ? A server is hungry on ram and cpu power. If it's only for a little server, it should be okay (only for home use, nothing out to the internet) but for streaming and/or uploading on the internet, you will something more powerful.

Ah yeah and everything will be okay together.

It's going to be my personal server. I'll have a web server, ftp, ssh, maybe some other stuff, but it's really just for me.

I'm still not sure about the processor ... Even if it's cheap it would be better to get something solid that won't break or at least that will work good. If you think you have another 100$ to put in, get an A4 or A6 + a mini-itx board. Don't forget about the ram (sodim don't fit in dimm )

Board's SO-DIMM, and the RAM there is SO-DIMM. Had to look up that SO-DIMM is basically laptop memory. At first I had regular desktop RAM modules. Glad I caught that. I've heard the Intel Atom is decent for linux, and I really don't have the extra cash for anything else. I would have gone with AMD, but I've read bad reviews about the current boards Newegg has - something to do with IRQs getting messed up, I think.

Ok then stick with that. When i saw your so-dimm ram i was like "wtf is he building ?" but then i saw the weird mobo ... I forgot that you are going to install Linux on it ... That will be good then
