I am jumping into building a home NAS using Windows home Server (WHS). Here are the components that I have bought or have selected to buy. I am trying to keep cost @ $400.
Let me know any thoughts on the components that you may have on my proposed build.
One question I have is: Will the power supply that came with the case be enough initially to handle everything in build?
Bought Already:
$39 - Case:
Modtek Alien X case (http://modtekusa.com/index.php?page=details&id=1) including:
* 120mm front fan
* 120mm rear fan
