Big Rig

[ace2109]

Hi guys i want to put together a large tower that i can put a load of Hard drives into.

Can you guys spec me something???

It must have six Seagate Barracuda ES 500GB ST3500630NS SATA-II 16MB Cache - OEM from OCUK, with the potential for more in the future.

The system will be running win2k3 server, but it does not need to be big on memory at the minute.

12 would be plenty to allow for future disks
