After a lot of hours searching, here is what I am coming to....
3.5" 2-bay standard built just does not exist these days. Pretty much
everything is at least 4-bay.
the HP Proliant gen8 looks like a good deal, and only use 2 bays. Some
models have RAID1.
9x9x10 case, not too bad.
The 1U setups end up being more as they expect them to be used for big
servers.
Or I head over to Microcenter tomorrow (have to go anyway for a few
items, 8mi away) and see what we can build. They have a few 2-bay boxes.
One "enticing" aspect of the gen8 is one pair of drives, 1Gb, for the OS
and another pair for the mail.

Just search for a 2-disk 1U x86_64 (Intel or AMD) system that has room for 2
SATA drives (probably a pair 2.5" SSDs). Don't bother to search for RAID.
Probably something like these:

And I am just coming up empty on my searches.
My search foo has been really off, it seems.

Help?
I am looking for a box I can drop Centos or one of the spinoffs that:
Has RAID1 internal (not an external USB RAID thing)
   Can be software or hardware
All modern Linux kernels include software RAID out-of-the-box. This means any
system that supports more than one disk that you can install Linux on
(including CentOS) can be set up with Linux software RAID. If you want
hot-swap, there are various SATA hot-swap units than can be mounted in a ATX
case with front 5" or 3" spaces. A modern ATX motherboard with a AHA SATA
controller will support Linux, including hot-swap SATA disks, including SATA
connected SSDs.
small (4TB/drive fine) and low power
I plan to use it ONLY for email server. perhaps iRedMail
I have spent a lot of time looking and not finding any such piece of metal.
All I find are NAS boxes with their own OS.
thanks
Bob (frustrated)
