You only add hard drives which are external via hotswap trays in many of the SM barebone units, processor and RAM. It's hardly "building" compared to a whitebox. To each their own.

As it is, I've just ordered a few motherboards to replace some motherboard issues in other systems, so I'll have quite enough system building to go around.

I'm feeling lazy and would prefer to go with a barebones systems, but I'm pretty much finding older combinations for the motherboards (LGA 1366 / 1156) Anyone still regularly putting together their own servers and have a recommendation for a vendor? Even SuperMicro has slim pickings right now. I'm building these primarily for virtualization, and will be putting 16GB RAM and a pair of mirrored SATA drives. The problem might be my insistence on a tower chassis... Or, I might have to build myself a server from desktop parts. Sigh.
