Here's my new setup. My HP EX470 had a meltdown last month so I broke down and built my own.
13.5TB advertised, 12.28TB formatted
Case: Cooler Master Elite 335
PSU: Antec EA430W
Motherboard: Asus M4A785-M
CPU: Athlon II X2 245
RAM: 4GB Corsair ValueRam DDR2-800
GPU: Onboard ATI 4350
Controller Cards: Supermicro AOC-SASLP-MV8, eSATA card for Sans Digital TR4M-B (unused)
Optical Drives: None
NIC: Intel PWLA8391GT
Hard Drives: 13.5TB WD Green drives (see pic for model numbers)
Battery Backup Units: Belkin F6C900 900VA
Operating System: WHS
I mostly use this setup for HD video and bluray rips, but I've also got about 75GB of music and a few hundred thousand pictures. I backup my documents, photos, and my favorite videos on a pair of 1TB drives that I keep offsite in a classified facility where they are very safe.
I've got room for 3 more drives in the case, and then I have the Sans Digital enclosure for 4 more drives if necessary. I'd prefer not to use that since the fan on it is rather loud.
