After a lot of hours searching, here is what I am coming to.... 3.5" 2-bay standard built just does not exist these days. Pretty much everything is at least 4-bay. the HP Proliant gen8 looks like a good deal, and only use 2 bays. Some models have RAID1. 9x9x10 case, not too bad. The 1U setups end up being more as they expect them to be used for big servers. Or I head over to Microcenter tomorrow (have to go anyway for a few items, 8mi away) and see what we can build. They have a few 2-bay boxes. One "enticing" aspect of the gen8 is one pair of drives, 1Gb, for the OS and another pair for the mail.
