Has anyone had any experience building a home server?
Ideally I am trying to do something like a network gateway Untangle server with file sharing and frequent backups to multiple computers. I dont know if such a solution exists for both of these requirements but it would be nice.
I was thinking a low power consumption, highly efficient core 2 or AMD based rig. I am thinking a dedicated SAS/SATA controller with battery backup. Also thinking of SAS harddrives as the reported reliability and mutliple i/o operations would be much better than standard SATA harddrives.
This rig is for my parents house in southern California where every October all **** seems to break loose so I think the reliability and backups will be well worth it.
Anyone have any input?
