Hi, this is my first thread so plesa excuse any errors.
I want to set up a seedbox in my house because I am in college now and would rather not plunder the university's ocean. I have $500 to spend on a new system which will only be used to DL/UL torrents and ftp some of them to myself at college when necessary. I plan to use ubuntu linux as an OS.
What should I spend money on and what can I save on? My plan now is to spend most of the money on a good case, power supply, hard drive configuration, and network card and then save on the processor, motherboard, and RAM because its my understanding that "torrenting" down not need a lot of processing power or memory and doesnt need a dedicated video card, however my technical knowledge of computers come from use and a few "how to" books so I want to refer to the experts (you guys) before I start purchasing. Thanks!:)
