Hello all, I am trying to put together a file / web server for a pretty low budget (preferably 200 or less).
I will be running ubuntu server edition, and it needs to perform the following tasks:
Bind, Apache, PHP, SQL, Usenet (SABNZB), UPnP Streaming (360 / PS3), Samba sharing, Occasional Game Servers.
I've been having some trouble locating a suitable motherboard, it needs to have gigabit ethernet, raid support (I will be mirroring for backup), dual channel DDR2 memory, and be Socket 775. It seems that all the motherboards in my budget (sub £40 for the mb really) will have say Gigabit ethernet and raid but then be single channel or vice versa.
Anyway, this is what I have been looking at so far:
MSI P6NGM-FD GeForce 7100 Socket 775 Onboard VGA 8 channel mATX Motherboard
Intel Celeron Dual Core E1200 Socket 775 (1.60GHz) 800FSB 512KB L2 Cache Retail Boxed Processor
OCZ 2GB Kit (2x1GB) DDR2 800MHz/PC2-6400 CL 4-4-4-15 PLATINUM XTC with LIFETIME WARRANTY
Samsung SpinPoint F1 HD103UJ 1TB Hard Drive SATAII *32MB Cache* - OEM
Antec NSK 3480 MATX Micro Tower - With 380W EarthWatts PSU ATX12V 2.2 USB/FireWire/Audio
Comes to around £220 right now, so if anyone can help me it would be much appreciated, I plan to add a second 1TB HD raid mirrored when I have some extra funds. I don't need a DVD drive, Floppy, or any accessories really, just the basics above. I most interested to hear your opinions on the processor, motherboard (that MB only supports single channel memory), and Case/PSU.
Many thanks all!
