[EDIT: OpenIndiana-discuss concludes that the broadcom network chip is not supported on Solaris, but there is some interest. Also, to use 4 disks as storage, you may have to use the on-motherboard microSD chip, or the optical disk slot, to boot from. I'm using Linux and am very happy with it.]
HP made an amazing new Microserver, the gen8.
Intel. Haswell. Fanless (the CPU at least.) And it's as fast as my old 3GHz one.
Two NICs.
ECC RAM.
It's tiny and holds 4 disks (plus a tiny space for a 5th on top.)
I just turned off the built-in soft RAID.
This is a really good start for a home server. Recommend it.
