Getting ready to build my first Asterisk Box

Asterisk Asterisk General
1

OK, so I’ve been doing some research and reading for a couple of months and am ready to take my first stab at building and implementing an Asterisk box for our small business. We would like to be able to make/receive two simultaneous calls and receive a fax (and leave room for growth). All calls need to be recorded and will be interfaced into our CRM software. Since it’s been a while since I’ve built a computer/server (10+ years) what I’m asking is for the community to evaluate the equipment that we have and have selected to purchase and let me know your opinions on it. To much/To little or should we use something else entirly. Thanks

Equipment I currently have:
[ul]

  1. Polycom IP phones (x4)
  2. Fax Machine
  3. Dlink Vonage Adapter
  4. Gigibit Switch (I don’t remember the brand of the top of my head but it is blue and has 16 ports :unamused: )
    [/ul]

The equipment I’m looking at purchasing is:
[ul]

  1. SUPERMICRO MBD-X8SIE-F-O LGA 1156 Intel 3420 ATX Intel Xeon X3400/L3400 series Server Motherboard
  2. Digium TDM400P w/1 S110M FXS Module and 2 X100M FXO Modules
  3. SUPERMICRO CSE-111LT-330UB 1U Rackmount Server Chassis
  4. Crucial 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1066 (PC3 8500) ECC Unbuffered Dual Channel Kit Server Memory Model
  5. Intel Xeon X3430 Lynnfield 2.4GHz LGA 1156 95W Quad-Core Server Processor
  6. 1u PCI riser card (not sure which one yet)
    [/ul]

Thanks and hope everyone had a great weekend :smiley:
