I had some parts laying around, so i got a case and some HDDs, and now i have a simple server that i use for backups and file storage, and whatever other kinds of uses i may come up with.
Specs:
OS: Windows Server 2008 R2 x64 (got for free from mircrosoft dreamspark being in school
)
AMD Athlon 64 X2 5000+ BE cooled by a AC Freezer 7, underclocked i believe to save power (it hardly goes over 10% when im using it.)
2GB DDR2 RAM
Some 400W PSU
OS HDD: Hitachi 160GB 2.5inch SATA
Data HDDs: 2x WD Green 1TB 3.5inch SATA
I use one WD 1TB for data storage, and the OS backups that drive to the other nightly. (so then i actually have a chance to recover older versions of files)
Was a cheap build and plenty enough power for my needs.



Case side is super thin, so i added some thickness
