stigzler Posted May 13, 2016 Share Posted May 13, 2016 If any of you guys are looking to buy/upgrade to a home server, I can totally recommend the Dell T20. Presently £220 after cashback. All you'd need is an OS + some Hard Drives. I've got WHS2011 up and running great on mine.

Presently cramming 8 drives into mine after modding You cold also fit in 2 more 2.5" HDs, but think you'd have to upgrade the PSU. This means you can have 64TB of storage in the box alone + then expand more with esata and usb3 externals. It took me all of a week having it before i had to mod it It's nice to have something solid after the rollercoaster that was HP Mediasmart!
