Hi, I'm planning to build a file server (Linux NFS) and would be interested in some advice from anyone who has done so recently.
It needs to hold 6 disks (RAID5), cost as little as possible and consume little power.
I was thinking to get a Pineview Atom based mobo with 4 SATA ports (a good overview is here: http://www.linuxtech.net/features/intel_atom_pineview_motherboards_overview.html ) add a Promise PCI dual SATA card I have already in my spares box and get a suitable case and PSU.
My main doubt is the PSU, how many Watts are required and which one is most efficient?
