Looking for some Advice

Mike Rawkawski · 09-07-2008, 10:27 PM

Hello All,

I am looking for some advice concerning the (Nas Box) !!

I have a bunch of old parts that i was planning to hook up to a ( P4S533 Motherboard ) that has a ( Intel P4 2.6 GHz Processor ) with ( 768 MB Ram ) with a (Nvidia VGA 5200 video card with 128 on board ram) with a (350 psu ) with a (floopy drive ) & ( cd bunner & 52x reader )

Every thing check out perfect with set up / at least when i just recently run all the test on them ???

what I was wondering would this be a good set up for a (Nas Box)??

I have at leat 7-5400 rpm hard drives & 4-7200 rpm harddrives that i just erased and run the tools and they all seam fine ( well they all passed )
they are all ( Seagates & Maxtors ) ranging from 10 gig to 80 gig

I have all instruction & software downloaded to do this !!

Or would I be better using the ( Raid array card ) that I have its a ( Promise Fasttract 66 PCI )
