MS Home Server



I know a number of you guys have been running the various beta version
of MS
Home Server and I wondered what the general feeling was?



I am replacing my rather large, 6 year old and over cumbersome storage
server with a NAS, probably a rack mounted Linksys, but I still need a
small
server to run a couple of applications. My first thought was to keep the
old
beast running but it does seem a waste of space and energy so I've have a
google around and found http://www.tranquilpc-shop.co.uk/
 and they do  what
looks like a very nice rack mountable solution with a very small footprint
and energy consumption



So the questions -



1.       Should I jump on the MS Home Server band wagon?

2.       Should I go for an off the shelf hardware solution or in the true
nature of HA pull my finger out and build one from scratch?



Many thanks,





Steve
