Right there is going to be a few questions is this.
I am looking to do a few buils a Virtualization server and a new Nas box.
For the Virtualization server I think I am going to do something similar to this:

It looks to be a compact, quiet and cheap solution which is exactly what I want. Does anyone else have any recommendations other than this.
Second, for the nas box I know that a mini-itx board will suit my need but it is impossible to find the right one.
Requirments:
Small Form Factor/Rack (if that is at all possible)
8 drive bays (Hot swap would be better but i can live with internal)
2gig ram (should be plenty for a nas)
dual nic
Super Quiet
Am I being unrealistic?
I did see a 6 bay case which looks pretty good:

or should I just buy an 8 bay solution from QNAP/NetGear?
