The case and psu are a deal at this price,the board can be swapped out easily to upgrade or make a old pc a 1u.

Damn that is nice, I'm low on cash but tempted.

Anyone order from here before? Only 5 resellerrating reviews and all are at least 4 years old.

Shouldn't be much of an issue, namely because this couldn't be much more than a very low end file server or domain controller anyway... I would want more than 2GB for any app server, especially if using SQL. Additional bandwidth is about all you would get from DDR1 to DDR2/3. I'm using DDR1 in my home server /PC and it runs like a champ, and it's only a tad slower gaming than my DDR2 main desktop with more processing power (supposedly). Certain apps, especially those with robust databases, would benefit from having more bandwidth and would likely require more RAM to run well anyway.

i picked up some dual core 280's on ebay and they run no problem.Also the description says a 350 watt psu,but i got a 400.Ram is also cheap on ebay for these,I'm running 6gb now.I might pick up another for the case and psu and toss a atom setup in there.

If I bought one Id purchase it to use as a VMWare server for testing/dev. Generally speaking for what I'm doing its the quantity of memory that's needed so multiple test clients can be running at the same time. My beef really with DDR I isn't the bandwidth as much as it is with the cost for new DDR I. I know I can purchase used DDR I ECC memory but I'm a bit leery when it comes to used server memory. Though I may just be a little paranoid

VMWare, with enough RAM, should run like a champ.
