[QUOTE="hafblade, post: 857147, member: 110423"] At the moment I am also thinking about a WHS system for my new home. :) Due to the fact that I love building my own pcs I first thought of 1) Using my normal pc as server and buying a new fancy one as my new standard pc :D 2) Buying some i3 + 4gb ram + 6-sata / usb3 / 2xGigabit LAN server But after some further thougths I came to some completely build whs servers which do really have compatible hardware and support like this one: [url]http://www.chiligreen.com/shop/produkte.asp?typ=275[/url] If you are able to read german you could also look here: [url]http://www.home-server-blog.de/2011/11/07/im-test-chiligreen-advance-home-server-energieverbrauch-performance-und-fazit-teil-3/[/url] [url]http://www.home-server-blog.de/hardware/[/url] The completely out of the box systems have the ability to be calm, low power consuming (chili green <50w) and they have support which I could possibly not achieve when building the system on my own. The nice thing about whs 2011 is that you do everything over remote and an on-cpu-graphic should be enough to install it. pros prebuild system: - support - ready to go - most time calmer then own system - low power consumption cons: - nothing to tinker :P - perhaps not all ports (usb3 esata) which I would like That's all I suppose. So a prebuild system would be sooo bad. [/QUOTE]
