It will go into my rack cabinet so I COULD do a 1U format. I would prefer something sitting on a shelf in the rack (next to my QNAP NAS) about the size to handle 2 HD and system board. Enough memory for Centos and the mail server software. Perhaps 2Gb is enough? 4Gb nice to have (anti-virus could eat up memory at times?) Oh, has to be Intel not ARM (iRedMail req) I don't need hot swap. I just did a drive replace on my QNAP and it took ~10min to power down and swap drives. Took 10hr to mirror to the new drive. I DO want it all in the box. No external drives. And I don't want to build my own hardware. I want to buy it, install drives, attach boot ISO, and install away. Low power like 40W or less good.
