Buzz Out Loud Lounge: eMachine T5026 & Windows Home Server

eMachine T5026 & Windows Home Server

I need to setup a home server and I’m going to be using windows home server. So I figured that I could just turn my T5026 into the server instead of buying a barebones kit for tigerdirect.com. Although it’s almost 4 years old it still has 3 times the minimum requirements to run WHS (after my upgrades) and I can use the money on hard drives.
Os I was just wondering if anyone had any experience in running that model as a home server and has it worked out for the better?
