Those of you interested in the Lenovo IdeaCentre D400 Windows Home Server box should check out PC Magazine’s review of the unit here on their website. The D400 comes configured with an energy-efficient Intel Atom 230 processor clocked at 1.6GHz and four drive bays which means you’ll be able to store up to 8TB of data. The 1 terabyte system starts at $499.99 while the 2 terabyte system starts at $599. Here’s what PC Magazine thought of the system:

“The Lenovo IdeaCentre D400 is a good product for small businesses or homes that don’t do a lot of media streaming.”

a.k.a. If you’re looking for a good backup and data storage solution, then the D400 should fit the bill.

If you’re looking for a beefier processor, you should definitely take a look at the HP MediaSmart WHS systems. You can find Celeron based MediaSmart boxes for around $500 dollars with faster systems available at higher price points.
