I have just ordered a new server for my website (and other stuff that needs hosting)
The server will feature a ITX motherboard, specifically, the D510 NM10 from ASUS. The D510 comes with a dual-core ATOM processor which should be enough for my needs.
For storage, I have ordered 2x 250GB Samsung 2.5 inch hard drives. I intend to use Windows 7's raid feature and mirror the drives to increase the reliability of the server. I have also ordered an external 250GB Samsung disk that will be used primarily for backup purposes. I intend to perform automatic daily and weekly backups to this disk.
Also, I intend to order a 1TB NAS drive to store all my non-essential stuff, and, as a secondary backup solution. However, I have yet to find the right NAS drive for my purposes, any recommendations?
Last but not least, I have ordered an Antec Skeleton case (for ITX), which is and open case (plenty of air) and features a 150mm fan and should be pretty noiseless.
I should receive all my "stuff" in about 10-14 days.
