That is the battery backup for the Intel Enterprise RAID card so it can save the contents of its memory to disk if something should happen.

I did have the thought that you did its going to be worth nothing in a few years time, but that thinking could have put me off for life, so I though screw it I'm going for it... and thus did :D

Might be worth less, but worth nothing? No chance :p

I'll gladly take it off your hands in 3 years time if you like.
 
Everything seems good but I disagree with the 2TB drives/intel RAID card.

Home server with xeon 1230 with ZFS raid would have been infinitely better/more useful IMO.

I can't believe in that. There is no way, I would leave it untoched for that long.

Hold on, why did you install Server 2008 for it?

HyperV server is needed for multiple instances that I need including Linux and what not... can still game on it :D

Ahh okay makes sense :)

Just wondered that was all ^^ so I guess it's not just a good excuse to play games, it's practical too? :p

Stelly was shy. plus I was in my scruffy clothes for doing the build. Stelly is practically a male model and is extremely handsome and good looking but we get complaints about my beard whenever pictures of me go live on the forums :p

£5,000 my godness me! I will never spend more than £1,000 for a pc unless if I win the lottery can try OCUK PC built up to £12,000! :)

as if you would expect anything less from me :D
 
What a fantastic article. It's a lovely build.

Have you considered cable braiding to add that extra little bit of wow factor, or is there a concious reason not to?
 
I would like to thank Stelly from the bottom of my heart. As he bought me 2 pints of Peroni at lunchtime :)

For some reason he thought Lager for W/C fluid was not the best of ideas?
