Q. im looking to build a server but my budget is around $1000, im wanting to build it to host my own vps
just wondering would $1000 be enough and how many vps servers could i host,
for each client do i need to build whole new seperate server ? sorry if my questions didn't make sense im not very knowledged in this area.
also when picking out the parts lets say for example i want 4tb of storage 500gb for each client
on my vps, does it make a difference buying 2 2tb hdd rather than 4 500gb harddrives, would the 2 tb hdd be able to split in 500gb of storage to each client.

A. Well it all depends on what you're trying to do exactly. You could go check out www.tigerdirect.com and hit up their Barebones kits and find a pretty solid server for around $1,000. It's not put together but that part's actually really easy to do if you just read the instructions that come with the parts.
You're also going to need an operating system. If you wanted to run it on a Windows platform you're gonna need to drop some big bucks.
If you're good with learning new things Ubuntu Server is a free and rock solid Linux based server OS. It doesn't come with a GUI though so you have to learn some command line stuff.
In either setup you can get the hard drives in 2 TB and allocate partitions on them to make 4 55GB drives.
The next question htough is what kind of upload speed do you have? This isn't the same (usually) as your download speed. For example at my house I have 12Mb download but only 4Mb upload. At my office I have 25Mb down and 6-10Mb up. Your upload speed will bottleneck if all 4 customers hit at the same time and try to upload stuff to the server. You can go to www.speedtest.net and see what your up speed is.
There's a whole bunch more stuff to take into consideration on something like this. I've done it a few times and trust me it's really easy to do it wrong. If you want help I would be glad to give you advice and stuff hit me up admin@thetikilab.com

Help my computer won't work!?
Q. I have a windows 8 computer and recently all my files were deleted somehow. ( documents, music, ) stuff like that. Now nothing will open. No Internet or anything. My anti virus software doesn't detect anything. Please help!
A. I have no sympathy with anyone that goes out and buys a W8 computer or systems install disk without doing their research first. It's like people that ignore safety signs warning them of the dangers.
What are the dangers of locked down W8
(1) it's Locked down water tight
(2) Can't download and install Free software
(3) Annual subscription fee for some W8 software (Office)
(4) Microsoft controls everything users do
(5) Over priced software
(6) Viruses, Malware, Spyware, Trojans

Which netbook should I buy?
Q. I've never purchased a netbook before, and I'm hoping you guys can give me some idea of where to start.
This would be my "school" computer and I'd pack it around with me, and also take it on short trips when theft may be an issue. I'm looking to keep it under 300 dollars, though if you have an amazing suggestion for more, let me know. Using it for--
Typing notes
Some Netflix, Pandora, and YouTube
Facebook and Tumblr (Really looking for something that can handle a lot of Tumblr, probably)
I'm more interested in speed than storage capacity. I'd also appreciate something that boots up quickly, though that's not required.
I'd also appreciate a relatively quiet keyboard. Some netbooks I've used have had very noisy, flimsy and cheap feeling keyboards. If there are any netbooks with keyboards similar to my macbook keyboard, I'd appreciate that.
I've also been told to look into Chromebooks, though I'm a little confused about the difference between a Chromebook and a Netbook. I've looked at some forums and articles, but they were too specific for my needs. I'd appreciate any info regarding this.

A. This is what I got to say: Most netbooks are horrible. They are. I have one for a couple of years and it just didn't work out for me. I prefer for you to buy a laptop instead. I know... I know.. netbooks may come in handy because they are smaller in size, but you said you are going to watch Netflix. Renting Netflix come in DVDs so netbooks do not have a CD/DVD slot, laptops do. Laptops are way way way faster.
I guess you can do some research and find which one is best for you. If you are still not interested when I said to buy a laptop instead, then ok, get a netbook.
Here's another catch, cheap laptops or netbooks are never the best thing to buy. You don't need to buy the really really expensive one, but just the right amount.
Chromebooks: is a personal computer running Google Chrome OS as its operating system. The devices are designed to be used while connected to the Internet and support applications that reside on the Web, rather than traditional PC applications like Microsoft Office and Photoshop that reside on the machine itself.
Basically it's just run by a Google Chrome OS. (Operating System)
Other operating systems are: Windows 7, Windows XP, Mac OS, Linux, etc...
EDIT: misspelled find in 2nd paragraph...
