Low Powered Server

[monkeysmith]

Hi,

I'm looking to build my own home server, I have a old motherboard, cpu and ram, just really after a nice cheap case and psu. I want it to be cheap to run as possible as it will be online 24/7.

Can anyone help me with a PSU/Case and approx running costs?

Not that much power needed, will be about 3 hdd's, 1 or 2gb ram eventually, thats about it, old board and amd xp chip.

Cheers

I run a barton 2400 @ 1Ghz with 512MB of ram and a crappy Socket A board powerd by a Shuttle 250w psu.

With 3 400GB Seagate 7200.8's and 2 fans it uses about 80-85w.

more then enough to stream my vast, vast, vast media collection.
