Hello!
You all know me as happy desktop FreeBSD user.
Hopefully that is about to change. I have idea to start my own company.
I want to create server that will be running FreeBSD-8 jails
In jails I will have mail server, web server, ftp server (maybe), Proxy (most likely). Server will be running on ZFS
The problem is that I have very limited resources... Frankly I have no cash at all, I will lend it, but that's not the point.
I've opened local PC shop and assembled something that I think would be good hardware to start.
If I'd decide to buy it today it would cost me 378.57Ls which is about $800.
I tried to pick hardware that was cheap on one hand, and easily upgradable on other hand. Also I tried to pick hardware which consume less power.
So here is what I Picked:
CPU: Athlon II X3 400E 2,2GHz 1,5MB sAM3 AMD AD400EHDGIBOX (45W) (3 yyear warranty)
MB: Gigabyte GA-MA790XT-UD4P (3 year warranty)
RAM: 4GB DDR3 1333MHz ECC Kit of 2 Crucial CT2KIT12864BA1339 (total 8GB) (3 yearr warranty)
HDD: 3x 3,5" SATA 1000GB 5900rpm 32MB Barracuda LP Seagate ST31000520AS (3 yearr warranty)
PSU: 350W ATX Realpower RP-350 Ultron 53590
+ fans and case.
What do you think about my selection? What can you recommend?
