[QUOTE="gagnerants, post: 894162, member: 44170"] You need to decide on what type of server you want, as in print server, file server or web server. Then that would decide what type of hardware you should be looking into, as in 10,000 rpm hard drives or go for massive storage space. Your not going to see much in as in low power usage because of two factors A) hardware and B) the amount of time the server will be on. As for OS I would suggest either Window server 2k8 or your choice of linux server as centOS or red hat etc. A little bit on hardware, I would suggest running an intel based server, with a touch of ram and a raid hard drive setup that backups the first drive. I would say a raid level 5 should do great with your home server. You would also need to decided on either a rack mount or tower server, the tower would work better for a home. Remember you make the server with the software and home network is what defines what your server is, your computers will be easily be able to connect to your server with the right setups. [/QUOTE]
