I am looking at building a new server. Possibly switching from a mini tower to rack mount. Can anyone offer any suggestions? The main reason why I was thinking of rack mount, is for easy adding/replacing of hdd's (hot swap).

Not sure what you want help with?

pros and cons of tower vs rack?

specs?

how much to invest?

schmitty:  I recently had a similar decision to make.  I actually ended up keeping the tower and investing in a NAS.  I am thrilled with that decision.  No more HDD issues.  Full redundancy.  Sharable on the LAN, or even across the net to anywhere in the world.

 

Good luck to you.

Don't know much about NAS. How do you go with capacity, if you need to add to it?
