Cheers Dan you have PM
I hope it helps Adrian. It was from Smurfin's thread that I got started so hopefully it will follow onto your's or anothers thread when you build yours.
The specs we bought should be a good guide but its fair to say servers can be built for far less, I think we have both over specc'ed our servers.

There ya go. Its a massive thread seperated into 2 parts.
Hi gents
Thanks for an interesting and useful thread, might save me money!!
The MoBo of my old WHS ver 1 has just failed, and will replace it.
As I have cases etc it wont be as expensive but please keep us upto date, as I will probably go with one of your motherboards as I have similar requirements Edd!
Will read again when more awake esp regarding your cables!!
Edited:
Ed see you got the motherboard that is on my current shopping list...
Also realise those cables are for the PCL-e SATA card, i would have been stump, thanks
Adrian
Well, I just had a text from scan my stuffs coming on Monday.
sapper said:Has it arrived? I see scan have stopped stocking that motherboard at the moment....
Yes its here the board has been superceeded by the Gen 3 version. I would think this is why its not on the scan website anymore. I think its The same spec but with PCIe 3.0.
I think ive put mine all together now. So many sata cables, it looks like Stevie Wonder did the cableing. Im not going to turn it on tonight, ill have that adventure for tomorrow. Something is bound to go wrong! lol.
It does look pretty awesome. I just hope no one opens a drive as there r no locks on the xcase ones.
