I would think some WHS-centric cases might be released, and that would probably be your most likely place to get one without drives. After all, these people are selling complete solutions, so they're all designed for this, and have at least one drive and the OS loaded and ready to go.
I think if someone puts out a tutorial for putting together the best DIY hardware, that it might get a lot more people choosing this option than would otherwise because of cost and/or inexperience building their own systems.
I been playing with WHS on a virtual machine. I just wish I could find a solution without or with a hard drive for around $300. Its $180 for the OS alone on Newegg, leaving only about $120 to make or buy a used PC that meets the minimum hardware requirements of 1.5 processor, 512 ram and 60 gigs of space.
Now that we've thrown 'em off the trail, use the form below to get in touch with the people at Engadget. Please fill in all of the required fields because they're required.
Are there any low version WHS machines coming out? $700, $1000 for WHS machines ouch. I wish there was a $200-300 model and you add your hard drives.
