I'm seeing that dell has the T30 on sale for $299 every few months. I just missed the last sale by a few days! I can wait a few months for the next deal. Any reason not to go for the T30 at 299$. Dell PowerEdge T30 Mini Server: Intel Xeon E3-1225, 1TB HDD $299 + Free Shipping

I think the more I look into this the more I am leening towards the ATX card to save money. Looking into how much power an e5-2600 will use up during idle.

Secondly, could I also consider core i3/i5? Someone recommend i5-6500t to me. How does that compare...
Thanks for the suggestions. I'll look everything up and see if I can cross anything off. The $600 setups you mentioned sound doable, I have the drives, so all I need is the case and power supply.

I'm looking for guides or perhaps a comparison tool to help me pick hardware for a low power small footprint home server. The inspiration is to create a powerful DIY microserver to replace my NAS and provide a little more power/flexibility.
requirements:
low power usage
small footprint
