[QUOTE="smarty12345, post: 993988, member: 116919"] Well. Lots of food for thought there. I do like the size of the HP. but I dislike propriatary parts like PSUs and mobos. I see it all too often in my job where I can't get parts for these sorts of things.. I googled the P/N for the PSU and its as much as the whole server again. At the cost of it, For an extra £100 I could build a modern system I could replace parts on easy that would take up to 8 drives. I kind of like that dehumidifier idea from Asrock. Its just a shame its an Intel board with limited sata 3.0 ports. I wonder if they do an AMD FM2 system with the full 8 ports as sata 6gb. I know Gigabyte have a board with 8 sata 6gb ports. But they don't have that dehumidifier trick. I had hoped to sleep the fileserver when not being accessed. And hopefully use something like "wake on LAN" to get it going when a client tries to access it. Though if resuming from sleep adds a high overhead of thumb twiddling waiting for it to respond and get going that would bug me.. Decisions, decisions... [/QUOTE]
