I have been up and down on Google, actually sat down and built an ESXI box, then jumped to Windows Home Server 2011 (don't ask why), now I am looking at FreeNAS.
Either I have ADHD, or there are too many squirrels in my life!
Older rig I picked up here, X8 board, with a quad core Xeon. Thanks ACMCOOL for the great deal!
I like the ESXI idea, but can't get the VM's to load properly. The HBA was already setup for me, so the initial install/setup was easy as pie. The issue, I am certain, is me.
My main goal, hence asking for help, is to centralize vast amounts of media currently on about 10 different computers and external drives throughout the house.
