Hi,
I just setup a Dell PowerEdge T20 using Smart OS and it works just
fine. It start at 2199kr (not including VAT) so it is a cheap server
too. I went for the Xeon E3 processor which is a bit more expensive but
you might be ok with the cheaper options.
Here's the link

I have an N40L configured w/ 4 x 2 TB disks and 8 GB of ECC DRAM. The disks
have two partitions each. A small one for a 4 way mirrored root pool and a
large one for data using double parity RAIDZ. It's a bit of extra work to
configure, but works very nicely giving 100+ MB/s disk I/O. (179 MB/s 4 disk
RAIDZ1, 109 MB/s RAIDZ2). An N54L should do better.
The trick is to install OI to a small partition on a single disk. Then
partition the other disks, mirror the root pool, detach the first disk,
repartition it and add it to the mirror. Then form the RAIDZ on the rest of
the disk. Technically it's not bootable RAIDZ, but it's close enough for me.
Have Fun!

I looked at a HP N54L today: Costs
nothing, but actually handles ECC memory. Albeit very slow
memory, and not very much.
So, would it be reasonable to set this guy up with 4 2TB
SATA disks, 8GB 800MHz ECC memory and run some Illumos based
version with ZFS.
I was thinking of putting two 2.5" small boot disks
(300GB???) using some adapter in the optical drive slot, and
4 2TB disks in a raidz to provide 6TB of storage with medium
availability performance.
Would this work?? Would the performance be good enough to be
a home cloud server for media and/or documents?
Is Nexenta or OmniOS or SMARTOS better or easier to deply
than OpenIndiana for this setup?
