alright here's the deal guys, i'm wanting to build a file server that i can use to share media over my network. i've already got some parts and am looking into doing something really nice for this application. here's what i've got so far....
Intel 820 Pentium D 2.8
Intel D945PSN motherboard
2 gb of samsung PC4200 (4x512)
and here's what i'd like to setup. i can get 3 80gb WD SATA drives for $105 from my company's supplier, and a 300gb SATA drive as a storage drive. i'd like to run RAID 5 with the 80's and install windows server 2003 enterprise edition and use the 300gb HD for the media. do you guys think that this is a practical setup for what i want to use it for? the total build cost will be really cost friendly. my brother gave me the board/processor and i got the RAM for 75 bucks, all i'd need is a case, hard drives and a cheap video card (prob a 6200 PCIe.)
