John, jst wanted to thank you for the tip. When you posted that, Zotac
were offering this fabulous deal:

Item                                       Sku                              Qty     Subtotal

Zotac aren't offering it for sale any more. (Mine! ;-> )

For my purposes (DNS recursive nameserver, Chef master, NIDS host, and
backup target inside my residence running inside a KVM virthost), this
is _almost_ ideal. If only they had at least one eSATA port for RAID1
mirroring, that would hit 100% of my wishlist criteria. (IMO, USB is
too flaky for main storage.)

I believe item cited is a discontinued model, which is fine by me as I
really don't need an i7 for this, and TDP of 11.5 watts is difficult to
beat. I was looking for a server, not a heater.
