Home office computer with backup included

Thanks, mfenn. I'm glad all of you helped me get a sensible blueprint. I'll look into the cheaper Corsair, which I had in mind because it's often recommended for value office builds. Keyboard and speakers are not a big problem and can be handled separately. See you soon on the forums.

Home office computer with backup included

This Icy Box contraption I selected is a bit complicated to understand. It's not a drive cage, it's a rack for 2.5" removable disks, which fits into a 3.5" external bay. The best description of the concept is here (pdf). So yes, I'm doing internal backup, but in order for it to really be a...

Thank you for the advice on Mozy and Carbonite, mfenn. I'll research that some day. In the meantime, here is after all my new projected build, post-discussion : Processor : Athlon II X4 635 : 97 I've given in to the core race. It's "only" 25 more than an Ahtlon II X2, though. Motherboard...

Yes, frightening, isn't it ? I had a shiver down my spine myself when I typed the (revised) estimation, which is 1479 = 1885 $. Oh, and wait, I have not yet factored in the Acronis backup software, which might add anything from 0 to 50 , depending on rebates, etc. So we're back to the old...

Thanks to all. I just typed a long post with my revised build, and the reasoning behind it, following your advice. It's now gone, because the forum softare asks you to log in again at some point, after which it wipes your attempted post. I don't have the courage to do it again. All the best.

I tried to assess what are the main risks associated with different combinations of : - No RAID, just a single main disk. - A RAID 1 array. - Daily backups. - Permanent backups (say, a file is backed up as soon as it is saved on the main disk). - Backups on a removable disk, whether external...

Interesting remarks !... Let me lob back a few questions to you. Processor : Its 5 euros more. 10, at most. What do you mean by longevity ? Is it Windows 12 getting bigger ? Or me wanting to do something Im not interested in today ? The reason I picked up the Phenom II X2 550 is the...

Hello, gentlemen. Id like your feedback on a projected build for a home office computer. My location is France, parts are to be bought in the next few days, and Ive done quite a lot of research on sites such as Anand Tech, The Tech Report, Silent PC Review and others (some in my own local...
