We recently traded our trusty Synology Disk Station NAS box for a Windows Home Server built from scratch. We wanted a low powered system with room for up to six hard drives. The entire build was cheaper than many of the high end NAS boxes you can buy. We selected components that would offer fast processing for file transfers while conserving as much power as possible so that it could be left running 24/7. The following is the list of parts for this build. Let us know what you think.
Home Server Build
Case – Lian Li PC-Q25 – $120
Motherboard – ASUS E35M1-I – $125
Memory – G-Skill ECO DDR3 1333 4GB – $32
PSU – SilverStone ST50F-P 500W – $80
OS Hard Drive -Western Digital Caviar Blue 320GB (WD3200AAJS) – $43
Storage Hard Drives – 2x Western Digital Caviar Blue 500GB (WD5000AAKS) – $100
OS – Windows Home Server 2011 OEM – $53
Total Cost: $553

We have been quite busy lately testing some new gaming components. Some of the parts used for the $1500 Gaming PC a few months back have been updated and we are planning to do a refresh video on the new parts if all goes well. The theme is going to focus on the budget build. While our build comes in at over $1400, we are sure you can build a decent box for under the $1000 mark. Check out the specs after the jump.
