I also placed a preorder - 8 core w/ 32GB RAM. I've got 2 Samsung
512GB SSDs and a WD Blank 6TB on order (Black Friday deals from
NewEgg.ca, all SATA disk) that will be sitting in a corner waiting for
the big day.
It looks like I'll have an option to turn the order into a server or
workstation order when it gets closer to shipping. Otherwise they'll have
some sort of compatible parts list to help people complete their systems.
I was probably going to stick to spinning rust for storage, either 2 or 4
disks using raid 1.
