Just looking for some constructive comments on my proposed build. I have a 500G SATA main drive and a number of 320G & 250G PATA drives. My build list doesn't include pata controller cards as I'm still looking at those. I also have an existing DVD drive I'll be using.
Case: CODEGEN 4U-500-CA Black 4U Rackmount Case - Retail
Motherboard: Open Box:Intel BOXDG965WHMKR LGA 775 Intel G965 Express ATX Intel Motherboard
CPU: Dual Core E2140
Memory: 2GB
The case should give me room for 10ish drives, I do want a rack mount case. I don't figure I'll be swapping drives a lot so internal drives is fine. Intel board should have good support, G965 has build in graphics. Wanting dual core to help with balance and this will be my main media server that will have DVDs, Music, HD, etc.
The other boards I was looking at were these boards.
