Very Informative I am just beginning to think about home servers as well and I think that for my needs electronic/physics simulations and complete music studio processing I need to think about the most versatile and powerful system as possible.
Thanks

Might be worth adding if your buying a mainboard to get one with Windows 2003 drivers written for it – I have a Gigabyte board that was Vista/XP designed and I seem to be having driver issues even thou XP is very similar its not the same….

Probably want 500Gb discs instead of 500Mb discs

Hi Terry,

Great guide. I have a few inputs:

- One consideration users should do is if they want the discs inside the case, or if they want to be able to add, and replace from outside. If so, they should consider the Chenbro ES34069 that is also listed in the similar posts section.

- Uses should consider their processor mainly by what task they need the machine to take part in. If you expect the machine to only be for storage, go for a low power processor such as the Atom. If you would like the machine to take part in music and/or video transcoding tasks, consider low voltage versions of the faster dual core processors.

- One input regarding the inclusion of a DVD drive could be that adding a drive when building leaves the option to use software such as My Movies for Windows Home Server or RipNAS Essentials to rip CD's (both) and/or DVD's (My Movies).

Regards,

Brian Binnerup

"Generally, you’ll find most modern processors, including Intel’s Celeron, Atom and Core 2 Duo chips as well as…"

ALL Intel chips EXCEPT Atom Z-series and N-series are 64-bit.

"…some of AMD’s more advanced chips will be fine."

ALL AMD chips have been 64-bit since… Athlon 64…
