After many hours of trying to research and understand, I am thinking I could try to build this:
Case:
Lian LI PC-Q25 Mini-ITX Tower NewEgg 100.00
Motherboard and Processor:
ASRock C2550D4I Amazon 325.00
Power Supply:
Seasonic SS-440FL2 Amazon 110.00
RAM:
ECC UDIMM 1222MHZ HP (2x4) EBay 140.00
HDDS:
WD Red (4x2TB) Amazon 400.00
======================= $ 1075.00
The primary use will be just for file system sharing amongst a mix of Windows and MacOS hosts. If it works well in my home, the extension will be to provide private cloud storage for the kids and grand kids who are not backing up the digital assets they are accumulating on their own devices. So, if the configuration looks ok to start, does it also look to be ok for whatever 'jail' applications might need to be running as well?
Thanks.
