I hope you plan on at least mirroring two of the disks for your system partition. RAID is your friend.... if you use it.

Nice, but my OCD is going nuts over the amount of RAM in each :P

The server has 750GB HDD space? That is cute.

I just maxed my local connection sending files to the hard drive. Does that answer your question?

I'm also surprised it doesn't beep at you with the 2nd PSU not plugged in.

It beeps in post and has a light on the error panel. I'm using the cord for the new server. I'll have to purchase another soon.

Yes IT'S loud. Think of a dryer noise without all the rattling of zippers, that's what it sounds like.

There is 12 fans in it, so it is quite loud.
