I'm thinking of building a Windows Home Server (WHS). Have any of you done
this yet? Have you found it useful or just mildy utilitarian? I haven't
put together the parts list yet. I suppose the main thing is a small but
accessible case and then of course an adequate number of large HDs. Any
thoughts on WHS?

There was a bug, and now there is a fix for it. Make sure you install the
bug fix, before you use it.

Right. I've been thinking about WHS as well. Wasn't aware of the bug but
now that the powerpak is out with enhancements too, I might as well look
more closely at this. I too would be interested in hearing comments about
WHS.
