Thanks a lot Please be more specific, what are your requirements, what is the target system? In generic, if you want a cheap build, I can recommend the HP N36L/N40L/N54L MicroServers, they are well priced and have really good performance.

johndoe2011 Posted August 31, 2013 Author Share #4 Posted August 31, 2013 Hi, I have an old Antec housing with a good power supply and 2 old HDD ( 80Go) , so I would like to change just the mobo + CPU + ram to have a basic system ( I am not looking for a first in class one).

You can get an N40L around 150-200$ used, or even new today, and believe me, it will eat less, and work better, than your current PSU and case I am quite happy with the N54L, great performance, low price, and you can basically smash 8-10-11 hard drives in this small box! Of course, with some performance giveaway (7 out of the 11 hard drives would be 2.5" only), but you can have a good rack's storage space quite easily. Cooling is also good, the hard drives make more noise than the fan itself, and it keeps quite cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
