So I just finished my new windows 8 based server and wanted to show you guys how it turned out.
Spec: (I do know it's overkill)
7 SEAGATE BARRACUDA 3TB 7200RPM SATA/600 64MB (cheap, fairly quiet, pretty fast and not power hungry)
1 SAMSUNG 830 SERIES 128GB SSD SATA/600 MLC (nice and fast)
1 LIAN LI PC-V2120B FULLTOWER BLACK (the best of the best with noise cancellation and a lot of space for hard drives)
1 INTEL CORE I3 3220T 2.80GHZ 3MB S-1155 IVY (doesn't use power, stays cold and stays quiet)
1 CORSAIR 16GB DDR3 VENGEANCE LP PC3-12800 1600MHZ CL9 (4X4GB) (excellent ram)
1 COOLER MASTER SILENT PRO HYBRID 850W (so overkill but so perfect: can power a 40hdd+ server, fan-less mode, quiet, platinum (ish) efficiency, fan controller included and fully modular)
1 ASUS P8Z77-V Z77 S-1155 ATX IVY (8sata ports, wifi, cold, excellent quality and a lot of fancy functions I'll never use)
The case comes in a box bigger than most east European countries
Removable motherboard tray
Hard-drives
CPU and ram installed (take note of the tiny T series cooler from intel - actually lower than the low profile ram)
Cable management done and everything is (fairly) nice and clean
Case closed and ready to go
Gonna post some more pictures and screenshots a bit later.
