Except for a video card, the file server is more powerful (and cheaper) than our other two machines. That’s the sad part, Justin.

Are you sure it's not more powerful than the machines it is backing up? :) This looks like a pretty capable machine. Are you sure it’s not more powerful than the machines it is backing up? :)

It actually sounds very similer to the Home Theater PC I built (that my Drobo is hooked to). The only suggestion I might make is that if you want it even quieter then an external water-cooling system would be good. Since this is just going to be a file server I wouldn't imagine that the system and case fans are much of a bother, but for mine, since it's right next to the TV, it needs to be as quiet as possible. The only fan in my HTPC is the one on the power supply and the the fan on the TV itself makes more noise than anything else anyway. I do.
