Software and Configuration:
My server is running windows server 2008R2 and im using FlexRAID to make my array.
My main array consists of 15 2TB and 4 4TB drives in RAID 6, so I end up with 34.5TB actual storage space on that array.
The remaining drives are used as iSCSI target's and one 2TB drive is for active torrents and usenet download's /uploads.
Usage:
I use the storage for movies and series, i have media players around the house that access it.
Its also for backing up my computers.
Backup:
The is arrays backed up to LiveDrive, this is a online cloud backup service. (i have 100/100 Mbps connection)
Additional info:
I'm using the AMD processor because it was a leftover from my previous server, i will upgrade it eventually because of its high power consumption.

My Rack, in the basement, right next to our water main, and the main power line... SAFETY FIRST!!! :D :D (The bottom 4 HP servers are not in use)
I have since added a second super-micro server on the top as a backup router.
