Windows Home Server has had some interesting developments over the past couple of months and how it can work with all the PCs on your network. After looking into WHS it seems that its very promising and useful for a central server need. Mostly I got convinced by my friend to work on it.

I have this 8 year old Alienware case which is perfect for the job, I stripped it of all the old items.

By the time I am done with the retrofit of the case I will be able to install at least 11 Hard Drives and one optical drive which is very large. I just install the 1200 Watt PSU, DVD Writer,and One 320 GB Sata (OS Drive)

What I will be needing:

• New Motherboard
• Processor
• Ram
• Basic Graphics Card
• Hard Drives (Raid Pool)

I had to use a vacuum cleaner to clean out the guts of the case, it was dusty as hell.
