Morning,
I've been looking into expanding my digital media (backing up everything literally) , now my main pc is in my bedroom so can't just have that running 24/7 would drive me crazy.
So I thought about buying a motherboard, cpu, ram and a case to use as a file server (maybe even use windows home server) for software raid since I don't know s*** about backing up etc.
I kinda like the Lian Li PC-A16A:

I was then going to fill the expansion slots with drive cages (backbones) like this:
Would this be overkill? I'm on a budget aswell so can't get too expensive, but I'm kinda wishing it would be a quiet rig
