I was running a Shuttle XPC for the last couple of years and now that Essentials has cleared up the Server Backup fiasco I decided to build a new server from scratch. I'm using the following:
Cooler Master Elite 120 for a case
Cooler Master 500W P/S
Core I3 2105
Biostar TH61 mini ITX USB3.0 SATA II
8GB Corsair XMS 3 DDR3
Hot Swap 3.5 and 2.5 5 1/4 drive (DVD Slot)
High Point 2X 6Gb/s internal ports
Right now.. 2tb WD Black backup drive in front 3.5 hot swap bay
1X 1tb WD Black OS drive
2X 1.5tb WD Black Media and Client backup
In route next week...
Sans Digital TR4UTBPN Tower Raid x 4 hot swap-able to run on USB3.0 in Raid 5
1X Deskstar 4tb 64mb cache 7200 SATA III for Server backup in front hot-swap 3.5 bay
1X Sandisk 32gb ReadyCache SSD drive to go in 2.5 front hot swap bay to speed up all drives and boot up time.
