I have a old Windows machine which is no longer used. Its a Athlon 2800+ W/ 512MB. And old MSi motherboard. Micro ATX format.
I now need to convert this to Linux and stuff four additional drives in it to run as a NAS and other things. Its gonna take over from the Celeron 677Mhz which is running the NAS, NTP, VFTP, SAMBA, NFS, DNS proxy and DHCP...and maybe something else I've forgotten.
Been looking around for a new case as its got a micro one which has no room for additional drives. Any recommendations.
I've priced out
Akaza Zen looks cheap and cheerful
Gigabyte 460W PSU
SATA 4 port card (£38!!)
4x 320 WD drives
1GB 2700 333Mhz DDR ram (£18)
plus some cables and bits and peices its coming out to around: £300
Sound reasonable?
