Forgot to add a description, but this is my little personal NAS type storage server that I built on a budget! The case is a bit of a hack job, but it functions beautifully. Its running of the board from an HP z420, and is using a backplane from an HP server rack of some sort with 8x 2.5" drive slots, running to an HBA card. The external drive caddies are running off a Dell H700 RAID card from a Poweredge. Noticed that there was no benchmark score for any 2690s for Cinebench R23, so figured I might as well throw one out there.
