Looking at possibly building something VERY low power for home server.
Are there any options that come in around the same price point as the HP servers?
It needs to power:
mainboard/ram/cpu as expected.
my perc 5/i with 3 drives (7200rpm though I COULD sell and switch to green/nas drives)
1x tiny SSD for boot
possibly 1x 10gbe/infiniband network card
I'd probably be sticking windows home server on it and it would be nice if it had just enough juice to run the occasional server for multiplayer gaming.
Do we think I can get all this under 150w?
