Little background. I built a WHS box a few years ago and have since added 6 1T drives. I am literally out of space, without options (including 2T drives). I love this dang thing!
So, it's time to build a new box with 2011 WHS, and lots of SATA expansion and 2T drive support :) The collection of parts is below, but I'm also over budget :( I would pull 1T drives out of the other box as I transfer files and get the drive
freed up.

One last question, can I effectively use this box as a media player both off files and to replace the BR DVD player?
