It's been a while since I last dipped my toe in the DIY build world.
My old server has packed in so I was considering getting an HP Microserver Gen8. However, I thought I'd spec components out to see what it got me. I'm not after a powerhouse as it will be used for mainly storage and serving media. It will be kept in a hall cupboard so doesn't need to be whisper quiet but I don't want a hairdryer
I have picked out the following components (I already have 4 HDDs);
Does that look ok? Any gotcha's I need to watch for such as the size of the case, PSU being too big, etc?
