Ok so it was time to upgrade my file server. My old one had 5TB in 2 raid 5 arrays(15 drives) and with 300 gb of space left it was time to expand. I couldn't come up with a good name for the new box(all the good ones are already taken ) so for now it will be "the no name" file server, if you have any suggestions for the name, post them.
Part List
Mobo Asus DSBF-DE
CPU Intel Xeon e5405 2Ghz Quad Core
Ram 2 x Kingston 2GB FBDIMM
Optical Drive Linteon slim dvd drive
OS Drive 80GB Seagate 7200.10 Sata Drive
Raid Card Areca 24 port SAS Card with 2gb of cache and Battery Backup later replaced with Areca 1280ML due to incompatibility with the Seagate hdds
Raid Storage Drives 20 x Seagate 7200.11 1TB drives in Raid 6
Case Norco 4020 with 20 hot swap hdd bays
PSU Corsair 1000HX
Time for some pics:

Originally I was going to go with dual cpus, but I realized that 2 quad cores in a file server is way too much of an overkill even for [H]
