How could you Carl?
Can someone look at this parts list for a home linux server I am thinking of building.
Click Here.
I have a spare 400 gig hard drive sitting that I will use for the main system hard drive and a spare NIC that I will use as a WAN interface.

Things I would like to do.
1. /home space for all of my linux computers in the house.
2. external drive for automated incremental backups.
3. run a VM'd router distro such as PFsense for the house firewall / NAT.
4. lightly used MySQL/PHP/Apache server.
5. centralized authentication for linux computers.
6. mythTV backend with 1 TV tuner.
7. probably some other smallish projects.

I am trying to make this computer powerful enough for what I need but another one of my goals is to have it be low power consumption since it will be on 24x7.

Think about that one for a bit.

yeah, it is probably not a great idea to do this if there are web facing services on the Host is it?
