Look at mitxpc.com or search for mini itx barbones PC's on tigerdirect or newegg or amazon, there are a lot of choices.
Perhaps this would work:

Just search for a 2-disk 1U x86_64 (Intel or AMD) system that has room for 2 SATA drives (probably a pair 2.5" SSDs). Don't bother to search for RAID.
Probably something like these:

My search foo has been really off, it seems.

Help?
I am looking for a box I can drop Centos or one of the spinoffs that:
Has RAID1 internal (not an external USB RAID thing)    Can be software or hardware
All modern Linux kernels include software RAID out-of-the-box. This means any system that supports more than one disk that you can install Linux on (including CentOS) can be set up with Linux software RAID. If you want hot-swap, there are various SATA hot-swap units than can be mounted in a ATX case with front 5" or 3" spaces. A modern ATX motherboard with a AHA SATA controller will support Linux, including hot-swap SATA disks, including SATA connected SSDs.
small (4TB/drive fine) and low power
I plan to use it ONLY for email server. perhaps iRedMail
I have spent a lot of time looking and not finding any such piece of metal.
All I find are NAS boxes with their own OS.
thanks
