1) Make a video game
2) Learn pen testing
3) Make managing my LAN easier
4) Host a game server (Maybe)
So I'd like to do this without having 4 different boxes and after doing a little research (and getting some experience with virtual servers at work) I realized that a (small) home virtual server is actually do-able now days. Anyways I guess this thread is a hardware suggestion thread. I do have one question: What's the difference between WD Black and WD Red in a server environment? I have yet to figure that out.
Anyway. A list of part's I've put together. Probably went overboard, but whatever.
Code: Select all
