The goal: To build a home sever that can hold 8 hard drives and serve up movies to 5 networked tv's in my house and keep the case below 15 inches tall and 12 wide. Oh and I might add I wanted a minimum of 10 TB all for under $1500. So the search was on and the end result was a used (discontinued) NZXT Rogue. Searched everywhere for one and finally found one here from a user on the forums. Thanks again PrimeSLP.
