For a home server, consider the Dell T20 instead.

For a home server, consider the Dell T20 instead. $299 for low-power version, $499 for quad-core Xeon & 4GB ECC, officially supports Linux, no OS bundled. http://www.techradar.com/us/reviews/pc-mac/peripherals/serve... As for size, unless you're living in an RV, put it under a desk. Just Say No to being hypnotized by shiny rectangles. Consumers and small businesses can have an affordable server with incremental upgrade to many TBs of storage and 32GB RAM, plus OSS software to take low-latency, surveillance-free advantage of all that computing power and local storage/cache. HP and Lenovo sell similar models. With virtualization, it can run more than one operating system, replacing several boxes. Why settle for a neutered and overpriced shiny rectangle?
