So, I’ve been wanting to build a new home server for quite a while. Today I started planning it out, might be a while until I can build it but I can dream. My parts list is as follows.
- Swiftech 8 Way PWM Splitter
- Norco 120MM Fan Wall
- SUPERMICRO MBD-H8DG6-F-O E-ATX Form Server Motherboard
- Intel RES2SV240NC RAID Expander Card
- AMD Opteron 6320 Server Processor x2
- Norco RPC-4224 Case
- Corsair HXi 850 Watt PSU
- Intel i350-T4 NIC
- Kingston 16GB (4 x 4GB) Kit x2
- NORCO C-SFF8087-D SFF-8087 to SFF-8087 Internal Multilane SAS Cable x 7
- Noctua NH-U9DO CPU Cooler x2
- Noctua NF-A8 PWM 80mm Case Fan x2
- Noctua NF-S12A PWM 120mm Case Fan x3
- BitFenix BFA-MSC-M3MKK-RP 17.72″ (45cm) Molex to 3 Molex Extension Cable M-F x4
- NORCO RL-26 Heavy-Duty Slide Ball Bearing Rail
- ADATA DashDrive UV100 16GB USB 2.0 Flash Drive (Black) Model AUV100-16G-RBK x2 (1 for ESXi & 1 for NAS4Free)
Will use my current HDDs and set it up as an AIO ESXi/NAS4Free Host with 2x250GB HDDs for VMS & 2x2TB HDDs for other storage.
