Hi,

I'm looking to put together a little machine to be used as a small file server. I'm looking for something small, quiet and cheap. I was wondering if anyone has done anything similar on here and what components they used? Any recomendations would be helpful.

Already have:
Hard disks
graphics card

Budget: ~£200

You could use one of those network hard drives for a file server?

£200 for a 500gb WD one :O

You dont need a fast machine for a file server, a p3 will do an adequate job.

Although it looks a good system for the money.
