NAS build
Im thinking of building a NAS, and ditched completely the idea of a gaming capable silent desktop. This is going to replace mine and take less space.
CPU: Intel Core i5-3450S Ivy Bridge 2.8GHz (3.5GHz Turbo) LGA 1155 65W
GPU: SAPPHIRE Ultimate Radeon HD 7750 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card (11202-03-40G )
RAM: Mushkin Enhanced Essentials 16GB (2 x 8GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333
CASE: LIAN LI PC-Q25B Black Aluminum Mini-ITX Tower Computer Case
HDD: 4x HGST H3IK40003254SP 4TB 5400 RPM SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive
MOBO: ASRock H77M-ITX LGA 1155 Intel H77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Mini ITX Intel Motherboard
PSU: ENERMAX Platimax EPM600AWT 600W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS PLATINUM Certified Modular Power Supply
This will be in the living room, connected to the a new wireless router that I will buy in due time, Im torn between those 2:
Apple MD031LL/A AirPort Extreme Base Station IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n
Buffalo Technology AirStation AC1300 / N900 Gigabit Dual Band Wireless Router, IEEE 802.11ac/a/b/g/n - WZR-D1800H
I find the buffalo extremely interesting due to the ac protocol, since me and my sister only have notebooks, this would be a good choice, when I upgrade the wifi card on her notebook.
There are 3 uses that will come to this:
Storage - music and video collection, programs, installers, cat warmer
HTPC - Video and music playback
Server - for learning purposes and program development
PS: the ram was chosen as such due to it being probably where I will host my VMs to test my programs
Another thing, what you guys think of this MS mouse?
Microsoft Arc Touch Mouse RVF-00001 Black 2 Buttons
it feels good in my hand, and sincerely for me would be a god send, since Im coming back to windows notebooks, thus a mouse is needed
So any thoughts?
