I have just setup a home fileserver with ZFS on opensolaris, I used some posts from a blog to choose my hardware and eventually went with exactly the same as the author. I can confirm that after 3 months of running there hasn't even been a hint of a problem with the hardware choice. You can see the hardware post here http://breden.org.uk/2008/03/02/home-fileserver-zfs-hardware/ Hope this helps you decide a bit more easily.
