Heya lads,
So some of you may and will most likely think I'm a bit dumb for even creating this thread and even thinking about this "idea"... but I've been in the thoughts for some time now, of a small personal home server. Mostly for myself, just because it would be quite cool to have an own server =00=, but also for my mother, to upload and store all of her Photoshop work. Like a personal home server.
Now, I have no idea nor any knowledge regarding this... only that the CPU doesn't need to exactly be an i5, or even an i3, a server can get away with about 2GB ram and only thing is lots of HDD space. Not sure regarding wireless internet though, since dragging a cable to it would be difficult.
So my question to you guys are... where do I begin?, do you guys know or have any tips of any good server tutorial/setups on Youtube?, what are the "requirements" for an personal home server?.
Can you build a relatively good home server for just £400?... What would your build specs for that kind of a server be?.
Would/can I control it simply, mostly and only from my own PC or does it have to have it's own keyboard, mouse and monitor?. Can you setup different accounts/folders for like myself and my mother, to have like, let's say... she will have a space of 5TB and I will have a space of 2TB?. And can I setup different permissions, like I'm the only one that can do anything to it, and she can only upload, download, edit and re-arrange her files?.
Again, this is mostly just brainstorming... but would be nice to get some more information on this, hence this thread.
Lastly, I've been in thinking in the lines of an Fractal Design Node 304, 804 or 605.
You guys have any other recommendations, tips etc?.
Thanks,
Chrazey
