1       AP400791A       4U Rackmount chassis (no PSU)
1       MB455SPF        5 drive hot swap bay (in 3x5.25")
5       HAWD7502ABYS    WD 750Gb 24x7 RAID
1       GA-MA770T-UD3P  Gigabyte AMD770T AM3 motherboard
1       CPAP-965        AMD PhenomII X4 AM2+/3
2       MEK-4G1333D3D4R Kingston 4Gb DDR3/1333 ECC RAM
1       PSS-PSR700      Seasonic 700W PSU
1       VCMS4350-D512H  Radeon 4350 PCIe video card
1       FMCFP4G         4Gb CF card
1       n/a             CF to IDE adapter

Note that I haven't actually built it yet, I don't expect any problems=20
though.

I built a much cheaper version (non hot swap) at home using a Gigabyte=20
GA-MA785GM-US2H, Athlon II X2 240 2.8GHz, 4Gb DDR2 RAM and 5 1Tb WD=20
drives in an Antec NineHundred case. It boots of a CF card too, but has=20
onboard video and only a 400W PSU (which is probably overkill, steady=20
state draw was ~110W)
