This was an absolute pain to do, mostly because I decided to have a giant hardware RAID card and because I chose to do it with a mini P180. Anyways, here's the specs:
Antec Mini P180 (Black)
Intel Core i7-860 (Xigmatek HDT-S1283 w/ Nexus)
Gigabyte GA-P55M-UD4
8 GB G.SKILL RipJaw Series
Sapphire Radeon HD 5670 512mb
Intel SRCSAS18E RAID card
320GB Western Digital Scorpio Black
6x1.5TB Seagate Hard Drive (RAID 5 + Hot Spare = 6 TB free space)
Samsung SH-S223L
Seasonic X-650
And here are the pics:
(No, there will be no pictures of the "cable management". Those blue SATA cables from the RAID card are 36" long or so I think. It's a mess back there, but I managed to close it with much pushing. I'm not about to open it up again.)
I've got Windows Server 2008 R2 running on it and I've set up everything for it to WOL. Time to do... something...
