Very nice I’m deciding on building a WHS myself & was debating on what type of case to use that has hot-swappable functionality still.
I picked up the Acer H340 earlier this month and it’s working out incredible. When I first found out about Windows Home Server from a friend I debated about building my own box, or buying a pre-built unit.
After seeing the Acer I went that route and I am glad I did. I currently have 2 TB’s of storage in a small, quiet and relatively attractive looking box that was a breeze to setup and run.
I even put a bunch of information up to help others decide if Windows Home Server might work for them, it’s available here, http://www.squidoo.com/windows-home-server-info
