looking for new server hardware

[bdee1]

I currently have a giant coolermaster STC-T01 tower with two power supplies.  It was one of the original cases offered from limetech.  I have had it up and running for several years and it is time to get somethgin more compact, quieter and less of a power hog. 

 

I like the servers currently offered by lime tech but they are kind of pricey for me.  I was actually looking at a new drobo 5N... I realize it does not allow for the same number of drives as I have now but since larger drives are cheaper these days, i can get away with fewer drives.

 

Unfortunately I do not have the time these days to do a custom build, so I am wondering if anyone knows of a place offerign pre built servers (minus the actual drives) that are small and quiet like a drobo.

 

any ideas would be appreciated.

Follow the link to the Blog of OP from this thread.  I believe they are still building servers.

upgrade the case perhaps ?

5in3 modules and a new more silent power supply.

 

I run 2 of these cases since i had them and they work fine.
