Hello fellas, I have the first chance to read a bit about NAS just recently and I'm hooked.
I have upgraded my PC recently, well, practically bought a new one except Memory&PSU.
I have these components doing nothing;
Intel i3-2100 - artic freezer 7 cooler
Radeon 6870
ASRock H61m-u3s3
I can hook 4gb 1333mhz kingston & a very old but unused SeaSonic 430w.
All that with Antec Three Hundred case which I might change to some mATX case.
Now, according to my understanding I can theoretically make it do everything, no?
Can I install a linux distro and make it function as NAS, and simultaneously launch Steam/XBMC or something.. right ?
Can I make it solely a NAS + a server to .. say host a wordpress blog?
Do I need some special hardware to make a NAS or a regular server ?
Thanks
