My System

Are these components compatible?

Hello,

I am currently buidling a home server and using my knowledge i have already chosen my components but i need them double checking by an expert :)

Will i have enough SATA leads for my hard drive? It says my motherboard has 2 cables but my powersupply only has 1. I don't understand this part. My dvd drive is IDE so i will only be using the 1 SATA space anyway.

Will my motherboard fit in the case and also my PSU?

The right RAM?

Re: Are these components compatible?

The PSU is pure junk are you planning on leaving this system on 24/7 you need a good Power supply to do so.
Brands and Models of Quality Power Supply Units
Seasonic - any model
Corsair - any model
Thermaltake - "Toughpower" series only
Coolermaster - "Real Power Pro" series only
PC Power & Cooling - any model
Silverstone - any model

You will also normally need a larger hard drive in a server what are you planing on using the server for? Movies/DVR files, Web pages, Data files??

You will also want the use 2 sticks of ram be 2 512's or 2 1Gig sticks for dual channel mode on the Ram.

What OS are you planning on running?
