• The site migration is complete! Hopefully everything transferred properly from the multiple decades old software we were using before. If you notice any issues please let me know, thanks! Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

External hard drive

if he had a $100 budget making a x-HD or home server is not going to happen.

Also running a stable secure home server is not easy for average users. The keyword there is SAFE AND SECURE.

Yea it would take more than $100 to have a decent home server, but maintaining it wouldnt really be that hard, a small home server can be nothing more than a pc with a large drive in it connected to the network with no actual outside access.
 


which would also be a home server in that its in his home and only he has access to it. I have 3 of them running now.
 
he said he was computer retarded, and no offense to the OP, but a LAN server is a level above a simple backup drive.... dude jus needs a HD. lets keep it simple

The correct term is LAN Server.

Local Area Network Server.

A home server could mean you run a website at your house. I know someone who has a home server that he hosts games on, like L4D and CS:S.
 


Let me guess, you have a degree in comp science? AAS maybe? and yes it could mean you were running a website, key word being could, there was no mention of running websites, just a simple home server, in his HOME
 
im sorry, not trying to come across harsh there, i do apologize for that, my competitive nature shining through, i have been in the pc field for 15 years now and have been using them since i was 6... i tend to get in arguments when someones opinions differ from mine where pc stuff is concerned... again i apologize
so wausau huh? i used to live in wis rapids <--- hellhole
 
to the OP - go to bestbuy, grab a portable HDD preferably a 2.5 becuse thoes dont NEED power to work but some will only run at like 1.0 witout power kinda thing (seen it once or twice)
sadly i havnt been in the market for an external in some time so i dont know exactly what they do and do not need these days. But smaller the better, a TB would be great to have but trust me its hard to fill unless you have ALOT of porn lol
 
Working on a degree in Networking.

A home Server can be connected to the internet. A LAN server is just that, Local. And I was saying if he was inexperienced in pc's then running a system like could be hard because of security issues.

End of argument :D

WI is hellhole all together.
