N54l or home built server

[Viberious]

Im looking for a server for the home, looking to backup main gaming/htpc computer.

I have 3tb of music/pictures/tv/films for regular backup.

I cant decide to get a microserver or build a home server.

I have a prodigy itx case, 600 watt PSU would need CPU/ITX motherboard/RAM.

What would you recommend.

So tempted by the microserver, want something small and compact yet quiet as it will be placed in the hallway with my HH5 router.

My thoughts would be a low power CPU (S1155 or S1150) depends on what's around. The microserver would be limited to 4/5 drives plus. Don't need optical drive my name pc doesn't have one.

I have an old copy from a server I had 3 yrs ago.
