hey guys :)
this is like the title my first server build and i live in Egypt so that means not all the stuff are available here and the customs are high .
i wanna to acknowledge the supermicro motherboards are the way to go "i know that" but it's kinda hard to get it here and it will be so expensive "aftr adding the shipping and customs" so i have two options
BTW : i want to run plex and download torrent on it and back up my files so i guess go with ZFS (raidz2) if you have any suggestion please
First
to build a normal low budget PC and not keep it on all the time
i have this in mind
Processor :
AMD A4-6300 Richland 3.7GHz (3.9GHz Turbo) Socket FM2 65W Dual-Core Desktop APU ----->400 Egyptian pounds
or
AMD A6-6400K Richland 3.9GHz Socket FM2 65W Dual-Core Desktop APU - Black Edition --->500Egyptian pounds
for the motherboard
MSI A88XM-E35 Socket FM2+ Motherboard ----> 500 Egyptian pounds

and RAM
G.skill RipjawsX 16GB (2 X 8GB) DDR3 1866 CL9 1.5v Dual Channel Memory Kit ---< 1400 Egyptian pounds
and for the Hards
3 X Western Digital WD Red WD30EFRX 3TB SATA 6Gb/s 64 MB NAS HDD ---> 3000 Egyptian pounds
this will cost around 5500 Egyptian pounds without the power and case (1$=7.5 Egyptian pounds)
Second
use an old workstation/server like (Dell T7400 --- > too expensive 7000 Egyptian pound = 935$)
or (Server Sun fire x4250 --> 4000 Egyptian pound = 533$)
or (DELL PRECISION T5500 INTEL XEON--->3000 =400$)

then add the Hards and add memory
or something like those
i think this is the most cost and "power" for a server, i even could install visualization software and add more servers later but is theses servers/workstations compatible with freenas
so kindly help me with this issue, any tip/suggestions will be great
thank you in advance
