Building a Green Windows Home Server

I've been following a very interesting series of posts over on the Home Server Hacks blog. They detailing, step-by-step, the process of building a $400 "green" Home Server. The server is encased in a Shuttle KPC housing, which is, according to the Shuttle web site, a low power consumption appliance, using only 55 Watts when in use and 33 Watts when idle. To go even greener, you can use Western Digital Caviar GP series drives. There are five parts to this post about building the green WHS and you can began reading the series here. It's a great idea, and just in time for Earth Day, too!

Via the Windows Home Server Team blog I heard about some crazy, custom-built Windows Home Server in an Alienware case sporting 11 drives. Of course I had to check this out for myself. Whoa, it's true! This guy in Kuwait is retrofitting an older Alienware case to accommodate 11 hard drives and one optical drive and posting the progress to his blog. Here's Stage 1 and here's Stage 2. He's going to be using 1TB drives - wow! We're definitely looking forward to seeing the final results.

They may be called Schmall Science but it's definitely a big idea. This group has decided to make science and learning hands on and fun for everybody. Honestly it made me want to be a kid again just so I could take apart my brothers broken down Chevy sitting out in the back yard and put it back together. Check out this clip and see where you just might be able to find the next Schmall Science workshop.
