WOL FTW I was using an atom powered Dell mini 9 with external usb drives as something similar, until the SSD started to fail, corrupting the registry in the process. Hence the upgrade. Or thats what I tell myself

Not too noisy. Was contemplating a fanless PSU, but a temperature controlled fan in the PSU seems good enough + added safety. The case fans are temperature controlled by the motherboard as well. There is one intake fan in front of the lower hard drives, I may add another (in front of the upper hard drives) when I have a full compliment of drives - if the temperatures indicate a need for one. Being an apartment dweller, I have limited opportunity for placing the server out of the way where i can't hear it. People with Basements / Garages / closets / spare rooms wired for power + ethernet don't know how lucky they are. So instead I do the best I can, and keep an eye on what other people have done on the SPCR forums. Shelly, you forgot the [irony] or [sarcasm] tags. The furniture needs to be upgraded to to cope with the new addition. Maybe this will give you a clue as to why centering isn't currently feasible. The server is running 64 bit Windows 7 for historical reasons. It functions as a "proper" server proving services, like say realtime transcoding of 720p mkv Blu ray rips for viewing on an Ipad, via Air Video. I may also want to install some VM's . Probably overkill for most things I want to do, but solves a bunch of problems for me now, and likely in the future.

Given that its job it to be a server, No OC == Stock HSF. No power hungry graphics card == less heat, power. More left for the Hard drives that will live there . The HD2000 built in graphics on the i5 can drive HDMI , allowing me to use my existing desktop monitor via another input if I don't want to RDP in via a laptop. But yeah, SLI, and OC on air FTW. Maybe I can hold out for ivy bridge for the desktop / gaming rig refresh ...

Turned This ... ... into This ... Then Connected and To Allowing me to enjoy ... And ..... Me Likey!

*A Cow based Economics Lesson; SOCIALISM You have 2 cows. You give one to your neighbor. COMMUNISM You have 2 cows. The State takes both and gives you some milk. FASCISM You have 2 cows. The State takes both and sells you some milk. NAZISM You have 2 cows. The State takes both and shoots you. BUREAUCRATISM You have 2 cows. The State takes both, shoots one, milks the other, and then throws the milk away. TRADITIONAL CAPITALISM You have two cows. You sell one and buy a bull. Your herd multiplies, and the economy grows. You sell them and retire on the income. ROYAL BANK OF SCOTLAND (VENTURE) CAPITALISM You have two cows. You sell three of them to your publicly listed company, using letters of credit opened by your brother-in-law at the bank, then execute a debt/equity swap with an associated general offer so that you get all four cows back, with a tax exemption for five cows. The milk rights of the six cows are transferred via an intermediary to a Cayman Island Company secretly owned by the majority shareholder who sells the rights to all seven cows back to your listed company. The annual report says the company owns eight cows, with an option on one more. You sell one cow to buy a new president of the United States , leaving you with nine cows. No balance sheet provided with the release. The public then buys your bull. SURREALISM You have two giraffes. The government requires you to take harmonica lessons. AN AMERICAN CORPORATION You have two cows. You sell one, and force the other to produce the milk of four cows. Later, you hire a consultant to analyze why the cow has dropped dead. A FRENCH CORPORATION You have two cows. You go on strike, organize a riot, and block the roads, because you want three cows. A JAPANESE CORPORATION You have two cows. You redesign them so they are one-tenth the size of an ordinary cow and produce twenty times the milk. You then create a clever cow cartoon image called a Cowkimona and market it worldwide. AN ITALIAN CORPORATION You have two cows, but you don't know where they are. You decide to have lunch. A SWISS CORPORATION You have 5000 cows. None of them belong to you. You charge the owners for storing them. A CHINESE CORPORATION You have two cows. You have 300 people milking them. You claim that you have full employment, and high bovine productivity. You arrest the newsman who reported the real situation. AN INDIAN CORPORATION You have two cows. You worship them. A BRITISH CORPORATION You have two cows. Both are mad. AN IRAQI CORPORATION Everyone thinks you have lots of cows. You tell them that you have none. No-one believes you, so they bomb the ** out of you and invade your country. You still have no cows, but at least you are now a Democracy. AN AUSTRALIAN CORPORATION You have two cows. Business seems pretty good. You close the office and go for a few beers to celebrate. A NEW ZEALAND CORPORATION You have two cows. The one on the left looks very attractive.
