I second that. I run an atom 330 with two gigs of RAM and two 500gig drives in
a raid for development server at home is a 1u case. It performs great and its

Maybe look at this:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816101364

It's cheaper, has twice the RAM, 6 SATA ports, 1.8GHz Atom dual core.
