Gonna build me a server for work.
I need to have 4x250gb disks in it and id like em to be SATA.
It needs to have a reliable powersupply for 24/7 operation.
It needs a DVD burner.
Operating system is an open question yet but it should be free :D
It needs gigabit ethernet.
............................. ............
Basicly its gonna be used for storing lots of data and share that data with 3-4 other computers running OSX and winXP via gigabit ethernet. It does not need any fancy stuff but the cabinet should be roomy enough for those 4 drives and good airflow. Dont think cpu power is that important for this kinda work.
Need tips on good 250gb sata disks, a mobo with 4 sata controllers and buildt in graphics, cpu, mem, operating system (like freeBSD etc.) and cabinet.
Is it possible to get this for 1000 to 1500 USD ?
