My Current Setup:
1. HTPC & NAS
HP microserver w/o OS = rm800
4 x 2TB WD Green = rm250/pc
1 x MS Windows Server 2k8 R2 standard = i got it free  tongue.gif
(optional) GPU (HD5450 / GT210) + 4GB RAM
Pros: cost effective, very customizable, speed is not bad for daily computing, Power saving, quiet and stable
Cons: Not much RAID option provided, need to setup everything by urself, the blue light from the HP logo very annoying at night

you can use WD black for RAID servers. Black is designed to run 24/7. A little bit more expensive but more reliable as it comes with 5 years warranty.

BTW, you can read about my review of HP Proliant Microserver here.

Please do comment how is the review. Appreciate all the feedback. Thanks.

notworthy.gif nice review there.. was wondering if i am swap the ecc ram with non-ecc ram, will there be any performance impact or should i just turn my existing pc to be a HTPC&NAS combo as it will be a waste to leave my second pc idling there while i buy another pc..
