Over on the Windows Home Server Team Blog you can see some of the new Windows Home Servers that are being shown or talked about at the 2009 Consumer Electronics Show.

Of course you will see the new HP MediaSmart Server EX485 and EX487 but there are also some exciting WHS systems from Acer, Shuttle, VIA and Tranquil.

According to the WHS team blog, one such system will be based on the VIA ARTiGO A2000 that I reviewed yesterday on Home Server Hacks. Another from VIA (based on the NSD-8000) holds a whopping 8 SATA drives!

Shuttle is taking the K45 (the $300 WHS) and K48 form factors and pre-loading WHS. Acer's offering is the Aspire Easy Store Home Server and Tranquil is showing it's “Squash” SQA-5H and announced an expansion bay that will hold 5 more drives.

I like the look of the “Squash” SQA-5H. Mainly for for the easy drive access and 5 drive bays. I just like being to add drives when I need them, and upgrade old ones if they die or just need more space.
