I'm using an Intel E1200 1.6GHz on an Asus P5GC motherboard. I'm customising an old server tower case.
I did look into purchasing a rack case but I couldnt find anything that I liked for a suitable price (and I'm trying to build this cheaply)
I currently have a 1U rackmounted server for the firewall and a 3U IBM server running VMware for the zimbra server, domain controller file server etc; that's running too slow for my liking, hence the NAS.
I've put a good bit of research into this, initially I was thinking Drobo, with the lan attachment, but the price gets big fast, wheras reusing some old parts and buying only the really important ones, keeps the cost nice and low.
Nice case that you linked to though, similar to the one I was looking at, but the one I was looking at cost around £300 for the case alone. |
