Bought one of these just recently, decided i need to get things under one piece of hardware. It's great value for money.
I'm presumably going to be putting server 2012 R2 I have a code for, and then Virtualize everything from there of course.
I guess I'll be putting some kind of expansion card for more sata ports in there it seems.
I've also got a Silverstone PSU that I plan to put in this, so I can power more drives.
Am I correct in thinking i need this so i can use the after market PSU?

Anything else I should look out for?
//Edit: Or do I ghetto the PSU cables (is it really worth it). I guess a few people have installed graphics cards and crazy things in this i've seen, so someone must have some previous experience with this...
