Css / File server Home network

[flv1333]

Does anyone have a server for home use that runs as a CSS / file server? If so what setup are you using? (Cpu, Mobo) I want to make a server with almost 99% uptime for home use and lots of space, 750gb+. Reliability is a must, plus I have no problem to bulid it myself.

(Ohh the file part of the server is for home use only, if that makes any difference)

But I have a budget of $900.00. Every once in a while i'll want to make a Css server so it need to be powerfull enough to handle that as well.

Thanks in advance for the help

I'd reccommend you keep the CSS server away from the file server if you're anticipating high file/disk activity.

Say you use it for torrenting, it's gonna impact performance of CSS in regards to disk writing. Cos the hard disk is probably about the slowest component.
