Click http://dealnews.com/lw/artclick.html?2,370306,1151126 to begin at $399 2. select "4GB Memory (4x1GB), 1333MHz (+$79)" 3. in cart, apply coupon code "W51FFWZ6C1F14G" to knock it to $378 This machine has only four internal 3.5" disk bays, but also has two 5.25" bays. I talked directly with Dell tech support who confirmed that there are SIX sata connectors on the motherboard, so you could easily set this up as a six disk unRaid server if you install additional hard drives in the 5.25" bays with adapters. Seems very cheap for a complete 6-bay BYOD system, and I think the xeon it uses is very similar to a core i5 processor in most respects - very powerful if you have plans for more than just basic unRaid functionality. And it's probably a cheaper way to get IPMI than the low-speed, low-power Supermicro atom board. Edit: Though this has IPMI capabilities, it doesn't appear that this offers the KVM over ethernet capabilities the Supermicro atom board does. Which is unfortunate. I did a quick search of the forum but couldn't find anyone using a T110 for unraid. Any indications of whether it would be suitable?
