[QUOTE="elsmandino, post: 730767, member: 111675"] Having looked around, I am now tempted to use my existing HTPC as my server. I didn't realise that m-ATX motherboards could offer enough PCI/PCI-e slots, but the Asus AM3 M4A88TD-M E appears to be just the ticket - i'll just swap this with my existing motherboard. My only other problem is the fact that my case only has room for two hard drives. I am tempted to put the 2.5" hard drive in one of the 5.25" bays with an adapter. As hard drives are not technically designed to go here, do you think air flow would be a problem with air flow? [/QUOTE]
