I know the parts are overkill for what I will be using it for, to serve media to TV, phones, and pc's. it will also back up my pc's weekly, file server, and ftp sync to an offsite location. I will be testing things like active directory and VMware because I use these are work but I cant really mess around with them to much there. The server is will be running Windows Server 2008 R2 or 2012 R2, I haven't made up my mind yet. I want to be able to leave the server on 24/7 but have it go into a sleep mode until something is requesting data from the server over my lan or internet, I know how to do this but I don't know if its good to do with RAID 6. these are the parts I'm using. If you have any questions please ask me anything
