Jeffyboy asked me to host WTF for him lol.
Nah it's a fileserver for my 15TB raid array / webserver. Gonna be runing a few VM's on it also. I had some shitty gaming components before and I need the stability of server grade mobo and ECC memory. You can't hardly find a single socket board for servers these days. All that shit only cost a grand so it wasn't too bad.
Not taking any chances with 10 2TB drives worth of data. I still need to rig up redundant PSUs.

(I'm a noob in this, help a brotha out) So what do you use it for? I know you already said "fileserver" and "webserver" - but... what does it all MEAN basil?
