If you have somewhere to put a server without noise being an issue, then
i would go for a regular desktop and a bunch of drives in it.
I had looked at a barebones Opteron system with a gig or so of RAM and
the slowest CPU i could find, 5x 3.5" to 3x 5.25" hard drive cage and a
5 port SATA RAID controller. Depending on drive size this could easily
be done for under £1000. And then you have a decent file server you
could use for all sorts :)
thanks, where can I look at one of these ? ( web site goes here )
sounds the way to go, I'm not up on computer hardware so please bear
with me !, does your spec add up to 8 drives ?
I have a spare RAID system just like this - all set up in a nice 19"
rack case with 6 drives in lockable/removeable caddies - drop me an
email offlist if your interested , and in the UK as it's heavy ! Would
want around half that amount.
