With the announcement of Windows Home Server going to OEM, some early photos are starting to show up. Like this Velocity Micro design with external expansion upgrades that is scheduled for release just in time for the home server to hit the streets in early 2008. Check the bullet points:
• It has an Intel Conroe-derived processor with DDR2 memory. This will accommodate any future Home Server applications that may be more demanding in horse power, etc.
• It features a high performance Intel chipset for maximum I/O performance including PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet, Sata 300, NCQ, etc.
• It is extremely price competitive and will be available for Windows Home Server launch.
• Can be configured up to several terabytes.
• Most likely available in silver and/or black. Color schemes are not finalized.
• It's designed for vertical or horizontal placement.
• It's an enterprise-class design in regards to thermals and up-time. But it's very quiet!
• It features eSATA for an external expansion box that will match the design and will be available by Q1 '08.
Thanks Gizmodo for this information.
With the front panel looking like that, I wonder if you will get the Red Ring of Doom.
