    Looks like I'll be in this pard of [H] by the end of next week

    Honestly, my enjoyment of tinkering with either the hardware or the software died off. It was a nice hobby and all but my needs and interests have changed drastically over the years. There is basically no room for it in my life anymore :/

    Gaming SFF/HTPC system suggestions.....

    I secnd what Illumini said. The heat will kill the components or the noise from 4 fans will cause you to kill something/someone. I stopped building computers a while back but the last case that I had was the Antec Sonata (2 I think...). It was quite, the parts were cool, and that machine...

    Small Server

    I agree with Asgorath. Who cares how loud the little monster is, as long as everything is nice and cool. Just get some case to hold the hard drives you want (with room for expansion) and hide it somewhere out of the way.

    Owned by old house wiring

    The breaker is popping because you're exceeding the safe load limit on that particular circuit and installing a new one won't help either.
