Hi,<br>
<br>
Desperately seeking a small-form-factor (Mini-ITX or smaller) solution to replace my current 4RU file server. The server rack is gone, and I need something I can fit in a closet or under a desk. And the quieter, the better - I won't be able to stick this in the basement anymore, since, well, there's no basement where I'm going... :)<br>
<br>
The main difficulty here is that whatever I go with needs to have two 3.5" drive bays, for RAID1 mirroring (I can replace a 5" CD-ROM bay with one of the drives if needed).<br>
<br>
What's your best advice for small/cheap/quiet here?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
-Chris<br>
