hi all, i am looking into getting an old computer so that i can run it as a file server, i am planning on putting in one of these [URL]http://cgi.ebay.com.au/4-Port-SATA-SERIAL-ATA-PCI-CONTROLLER-RAID-PC-CARD-2C_W0QQitemZ150382794858QQcmdZViewItemQQptZAU_Computer_Components_Controller_Cards?hash=item230383586a[/URL]
so the specs i need are:
at lest 2ghz processor
1gb ram, preferably 2gb
case thats big enough to fit 2-3 drives into it.
my budget its about $70AUD including shipping, i was wondering if there are any good exrental/exlease companies that sell old pcs on the cheap.
Try looking in the local scrappy/IT shop/ebay, or build a rig from parts that got upgraded from your PC.

no idea if it will fit 4 HDD's but if it only fits 2 then get 4 laptop drives and a bracket that fits two laptop drives in a 3.5" HDD bay.
