Thanks Zxian, I manage to find an E2160 CPU. Will a 1GB RAM suffice? Do I need a Dual-Channel, or a Single-Channel is enough? EDIT: I notice that the ram I had were DDRs not DDR2. I got myself a 1GB Single Channel one, since that is the only smallest available. But I was a bit slow, prices fluctuated so fast, that I got to spend a little bit higher than what I have canvas Thanks guys (especially Zxian, for bearing with me ) , I hope my first file server is a success
