Hello, I am in the early stages of building a box that I intend to use as a FreeBSD server. It is my first attempt at building a computer, running a server, and I am very new to this OS--so I am trying to make things as easy as possible for myself. I would appreciate any comments on the following hardware in relation to setting up and running FreeBSD. Let me know if there are some obvious or not-so-obvious problems I might run into from my choices... Case: Antec SX840 (400 watt PS) Mobo/Prcsr: Gigabyte GA-7DX with AMD Thunderbird 1.4Ghz Memory: 512 MB Crucial DDR Storage: 60 GB 7200 Western Digital WD Caviar EIDE CDRW: 12x10x32 PLEXTOR I will also be getting a digital modem, a floppy, and a usb card maybe later. Once again, any suggestions/opinions on hardware that shouldn't be in the list or other hardware that would be better (from your experience) are appreciated.... Thanks, Thomas Kersten __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get email alerts & NEW webcam video instant messaging with Yahoo!
