I work for a smallish manufacturing firm and saving money is a top priority. I was wondering if any of you have ever built an iSCSI SAN from scratch for production.
Our file server is running low on storage capacity and the XP based security camera systems need some additional capacity after they increased the number of cameras without letting me know....
This is what I am looking at for my base with OpenFiler as the OS.

I figure with that a decent mobo, RAID card, and some disks I can come up with a decent starter system for around $2000.
Any suggestions or advice?
