For years I've been using the very reliable HP Microserver N40L system but I'm getting to the point now where I'm a bit worried about how much longer it'll live for.

Since my needs have changed from when I originally bought the N40L, I'm going to move the system in to a smaller miniITX box with a brand new J5040-ITX logic board and rsync'd drives.

For the video we'll be just booting from the single drive and next week I'll get the backup drive installed using a 5.25" loader.

UPDATE: Machine all sorted out. Used a 500GB SSD as the boot drive, installed U2204 LTS and migrated PostgreSQL across along with all the required separate packages.
