I am wanting to build a server out of some spare parts that I have laying around. I am wanting to use this mainly for storing the Scramblets Dora movies on (hopefully I will get a Sage HD soon), backing up my wifes work files, store all of my pictures, and running CQC on.
Here are the parts that I have now.
ASUS A8n-sli deluxe-- http://asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=e1h9yUaM...=specifications
AMD Athlon 64 x2 dual core 4200 processor with a cpu speed of 2200
4 GB DDR memory
550 watt power supply
1 WD 160 GB hard drive
2 WD 1 TB hard Drive
1 copy of XP pro
I am planning on adding more drives when I fill these up
Do I /should I use the Raid controller on the ASUS MB or get an external one?
Thanks
Steve
