Built a new Media Server to act as a file server for my HTPC and in the near
future another htpc in my bedroom and one in the kids tv room
This is the complete list of components got them all in
NORCO RPC-450 4U Rackmount Server Case
COOLMAX RM-750B 750W PSU
BIOSTAR TPower N750 AM2+/AM2 NVIDIA nForce 750a SLI ATX AMD Motherboard
AMD Athlon X2 4850e 2.5GHz 2 x 512KB L2 Cache Socket AM2 45W Dual-Core Processor
A-DATA 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800
Lite-ON DVD Burner
Got 4 750's and 3 500's for now
Got 1 WD Raptor 36gb 10k rpm hdd for the OS
for a total of
36GB for OS and programs
4.5TB for Media
Windows xp pro for the OS
MediaPortal is the frontend for media
I installed the OS hdd in a 5.25 slot which has no fans so I
added a small chipset fan and a fan controller just to get air moving
through there, not like it matters adding a little fan like this
when the case already has 1 120mm and 2 80mm fans plus
the cpu and psu fans going
Didn't clean up the cables to much for now since the raid cards use sas
fan out cables so these are just here for now
I got 2 of these should be here next week
Ciprico RC5252-08 8-port sata raid card
http://www.ciprico.com/Products/RaidCore.cfm
Gonna do raid 5 when the cards come in
Using a 4 port raid card I had for now to get the system up and running
until the new raid cards come in
here are some pics
