I know that this has been posted a few times but it now includes free postage which it didn't before. That makes it £73.94 all in after cash back.

Servers direct have the xeon one for something like £173 plus vat after cash back.

I have a T20 with the Xeon CPU - There are 4 internal 3.5" drive bays with plastic caddies. There are 2 internal 2.5" drive bays in the slot where you fit the slimline optical drive (i.e. it's one or the other). There is an additional 3.5" bay which was originally for a floppy drive. You can just about fit a 3.5" HDD in there, or you could buy a 3.5" to 2.5" convertor kit and fit a couple of 2.5" drives there.
I have 4 3TB HDDs in the 3.5" bays and an SSD and HDD in the 2.5" bays. You need an additional SATA adapter, cables and power splitters for this many drives. I used the following:

(you want right angled cables for the 3.5" bays, otherwise you'll struggle to get the side back on the case)

Chuck in a HDD and you have a whole house PVR server for Kodi live TV that will easily handle 4 concurrent recording along with file serving.
