So I am going to start to build my server. Currently I don't know if it's going to be a media server or just holding the files. Either way I don't think a media server needs much.
I was thinking about finding one of those types of cases that dell has, the skinny lay down type of cases. Though I am not sure because it needs to hold enough hard drives. What would be the best server case, where holds tons of hard drives but does not take up too much room. And the amount of hard drives depend on the case and motherboard correct?
Actually, lets make this my server thread. I don't want to spent too much money on the server (excluding disk space). Something like $200 or so. I assume I don't need much more then that to hold files correct.
Where would you start. I have had other threads related, talking about how to hold the data, raid or not, and a few other things. This will be more detailed.
