Here's what I'd like to do from the start:
-VPN server for when I'm out of town
-NAS for local storage and accessing goodies when on the road
-Future test servers that will likely include many forms of Linux and Windows.
I was thinking a dual or quad core xeon with 16-32GB of ecc DDR3-1333 ram.
I currently have a few 2TB seagate 5900RPM drives and 2x 3TB 7200RPM seagates.
I also already have a case I'll be using for the build that can hold 8 drives total.
Budget?
Lets say MAX $800 to get it completed with a few more 2-3TB drives. Total drives when all done will be 4-6... So nothing too crazy.
What do you guys think?
