spec me a WHS :)

[hellarda]

Hello

my current server has just died on me and i need a new one ASAP cannot afford to be without backups for any length of time

Needs to be as cheap as possible

Will be running WHS v1 or v2 havent decided yet

will be used to store aroun 8tb of data

could be used by up to 8 users simultaneously

need gigabit NIC(s)

will be used as a file server, backup server, media server, downloads server and to host the whs website

im sure someone will suggest the microserver but i think that would be a bit underpowered for my needs?

cheers

no its not larger than 2 TB so i should be fine.... cheers tho

thanks for the responses

i may want to transcode 1080p in the future, so thats the microserver out i wouldve gone for it otherwise as it seems brilliant for the price!

yes i was thinking going i3 or just getting a cheap core 2

preferably spending no less than £300?

i basically have nothing :/ as the PSU was a 150W dell crappy thing from 6 years ago and the cse is some silly thing only designed for 2 hardrives and BTX mobos :/

so yeh basically everything except HDD's and OS

cheers
