Sounds like fun.

I wish I could scrape together the money needed to build my new fileserver and eventually add a front-end PC for it to the TV & stereo.

It really doesn't cost too much. You could easily do it for $250. At least that is what it is costing me. 2 hdd's, and a raid card. Just use some old p2, put at least 64mb of ram in there, run linux(no gui) and be on your way.

I know exactly what it costs. $250 wouldn't even cover a fraction of just the harddrives I'd need for mine.

I'll get some pics of my leet rig probably over Thanksgiving break, or when my roommate gets batteries for his camera (whichever comes first lol).

yeah, those are good drives at a great price... but I don't see why you think a single 320gb drive priced at $95 is better then 2 250gb drives for $20 more

 

[laxx]

yea, pretty simple.

Pssshh...
