Adam, you are so misguided. The advantages to having your server in a hundred pieces are many. First, it is much easier to disconnect the SATA cables and power supply to each hard drive than to power the computer off from the Start button. The fans also keep things much cooler in the office when they aren't blocked by the annoying case. Don't like what you see on screen? You have to push the monitor button which takes at least ten seconds. Much easier to just pop out the video card. And, what better way to keep your NVRAM flushed, then to pop out the system board battery. And, that $80 battery on the RAID controller fits perfectly in my cell phone. So, there are your advantages. If you see any disadvantages be sure to let me know.
