It&apos;s a classic hobby project - get two things men likes the most - lego and computer, and hack it together. So the parts list includes: * a single board computer - Odroid C1+ * micro sd card * 4x 750 GB mechanical, 2.5 inch drives for capacity and redundancy * 1x 40 GB ssd (just because i have a spare one) * 5x usb-&gt;sata bridge * 1x usb otg adapter * 1x 5A, 5V power adapter * a fan * few wires * a lot of lego * 1x handsome engineer The target is to set up a server that: * has low energy consumption * provide me redundant storage (preferably by using rsync instead of raid) * provide me with a real time backup of my pc data like dropbox * allows sync of contacts and calendar with my phone * allows easy file sharing via public links * backs up mail and expose it via web email client * git support * can make me a sandwich (without sudo) Currently <a href="http://cozy.io" target="_blank">cozy.io</a> looks like the main solution. Infinity out.
