server quad core processor
super redundant home server
market?
Would their be much market for home server s with a lot of redundancy and hardware security. I was thinking about a computer with 2 quad core opteron processors, 2 raid controllers with 2 raid 1+0 arrays, 4 sticks of DDR3 ram, 8 10,000 rpm sata drives to keep cost down, 2 power supplies to make them redundant, redundant bios, and more enough fans that some can fail without it overheating. It would also have a TPM chip and come with windows 7 and Norton 360 and Norton Ghost. If it could be made right half the ram and processors, most of the hard drives, 1 bios, and several fans could fail and it will still work.
For what? You answered your own question in your text. What home user is going to have any use for that junk?
The only people that would use a home server would be enthusiasts and techies that could build better cheaper server's than the one you listed.
