I'm pretty happy with my server. It is a Penguin Computing Icebreaker 4824 or 4924 (a supermicro SC846) that I found off lease on ebay for $650. Not bad considering it had 2xIntel 12core/24 thread Xeon CPUs and 192GB RAM. Added a 40gbps network card for another $30 and tossed in 6x14TB hard drives and a pair of 512GB SSDs and I was all set. Still have room for another 18 SAS3 hot swap hard drives. Sure it draws more power and is 4 rack units, but it costs 1/2 the price of a Storlocker 10 and gives me almost 2.5x more drive bays, 4x the network speed, 12x the CPU cores for multithreading to different client devices at the same time, and 24x the RAM which is used for read/write caching... Sometimes thinking a little different can make a big difference (I did spend $120 replacing the CPU heatsinks with noctuas and replaced the fanwall with 3x120mm noctuas as well, but the end result is that the hard drives are louder than the rest of the system, which is just a low whoosh sound of the airflow).
