Hi Guys,

I may be barking up the wrong tree but I am looking to either buy or build a box that will act as a file share and media server with up to 4 disks (2 RAID 1 pairs), capable of running Windows Home Server and consumes as little power as possible - I'm talking sub 50w.

I could get a NAS that would do most of what I want but I would like the flexibility of a Windows device. I have been looking at integrated Atom boards but the ones I've looked at all need a PC power supply which is overkill for what I want.

Any ideas?
 
Ok, I think I'm starting to get it. So it looks like I am looking for an Atom-ish board, a low power ITX PSU that has enough cables for four drives and a case that is big enough to fit it all in and but as small as possible.

Phew!
