ASUS cable monkeys did a fantastic job with wire management inside this case. makes it really straightforward for fast deployment.LSI RAID is a plus or you can move a jumper and use the INTEL RAID.Really QUIET -- In no way know its turned on. Fan only ramps up when needed. "You can adjust fan speeds in BIOS"With X3430 and 2GB DDR3 memory - Server is rather quick for what it is. Check MEMORY COMPATIBILITY LIST!! The Intel 3400 chipset is really picky. This is in all probability why the other guy had "DOA's" have purchased 6 of these units so far. twoƒ) from newegg and rest from our distributor.

This is a fantastic option as an SMB Server. We have 1 running at a client for pretty much a year with no failures. Stable and really quiet.We have also started selling these as a high end SBM workstations with ATI openGL graphics cards.For a processor attempt the Xeon 3440 as it supports HT and you get 8 threads.Western digital RE3 or RE4 drives work fantastic in raid 1 or stand alone for a high end workstation.Some users apparently have memory issues.We have utilized N82E16820139262 which is Kingston KVR1333D3E9SK2ǞG with no problems. It lets you start off with 8GB and just add a second kit to max out at 16GB. No hot plug drives for use as SMB server.IPKVM support would be good.No filter for the case. It does collect dust over time.Not sufficient USB ports for workstation use. We just plugged in a PCI-x USB expansion card with four ports and that problem is solved.No onboard sound and the MIO audio card is tough to obtain. Don't use the Intel cooler that comes with your CPU. It will make the program noisy. The included cooler makes the system practically silent under light load.
