I am tossing around the idea of rebuilding my media server. Right now it is just a old PC tower with (4) 2TB drives (with a old 200GB HDD for OS). Running OpenIndiana +nappit. Nothing special, but would like the idea of being able to swap out hard drives if one failed without having to open the case. I don't need more than 8 bays. I am currently using a i3-2100, 8GB of RAM and a Mico-ATX motherboard.

I only use this to store movies to stream to my HTPC. Any suggestions?

I saw this which is nice and not too expensive. But, I would be forced to buy a server PSU and a new motherboard.

Nice case...but do note that it uses a Mini-ITX board, not Micro ATX.

Yeah I mentioned I would need a Server PSU and a new motherboard. I did some searching, maybe I could get one of those HDD hotswap trays for my existing case.
