Along these lines, I'm looking to build myself a "proper" server to run Bitcoind and LND. Ideally RAID 10 for the boot volume, and RAID 10 for the blockchain/LND volume.

Figure software RAID under Ubuntu is good enough (?)

Can anyone recommend a decent i7 or Xeon based system, smallest form-factor possible, capable of housing at least 4 x 3.5" drives ?

Amazon and NewEgg are kinda a crapshoot... Maybe I should post this in another thread...

mosey on over to the [H] pardner, best hardware reviews on the net

as far as software RAID, I've always had bad luck with it personally...more stuff to go wrong
