HP microserver 40NL, with a  IBM serveraid m1015 sas/sata raid controller
in jbod mode.

I use the internal 4 sata 2 connectors with 4x3Tib hard drives, and I
bought one of these (not available any more, unfortunately):

I replaced the cd/dvd drive with that bay expansion, I have 2 laptop drives
as rpool and one ssd as cache. If I run out of space I can add 3 2,5'' hard
drives to the pool, or create a new pool. It even has a e-sata connection,
so I could add an external enclosure as well.

I got the kvm module as well, so it's quite a convenient litlle thing.

Not the fastest cpu, but hey, for that price and low consumption .. ;-)
