Don't know much about servers but I'm pretty sure buying MS Server is unnecessary-plenty of Linux distros that will do the job just as well and usually better

Open it up and use a ruler

Retrofit an H100 on it and see how far it'll go

You could always go unRAID or something like that so you have redundancy but still get most of the original capacity of the drives you use.

You've probably already checked this, but is it perhaps plugged into/set up as Line In rather than Microphone?

Check out FreeNAS, been a while since I last used it but I seem to remember it being pretty versatile. It should handle everything (with very low performance requirements) on your list apart form webserver, I think that requires a plugin...

Fair point replacing the TIM for something like MX4 can make a big diff.

Worth a look then.

You've already stuck a laptop mobo in an xbox case...whats wrong with a little modding? Besides, probably all it would take would be a few zipties

Just dug em out, they're CX150s. I imagine CX300s or whatever will be better
