You do realise how much of a massive overkill this is and how much you
are overspending?
I appreciate the comments and feedback. I'd also appreciate alternative

box you would build.
$1200, and I'll run any benchmarks you'd like to see:

This box is really only for backups, so no fancy CPU. The sub-$100
celeron seems to not impact ZFS performance a bit. It does have ECC
memory, and a fancy "server" mainboard.
