I just got a new server for my lab to help with my testing of an open source WAN acceleration project I have been helping with called trafficsqueezer. Its a pretty neat little box, and is what I plan on putting in each of our office once the software is production ready. Until then I will be using it to run multiple client VMs for testing trafficsqueezer.
Here are the system specs:
- Supermicro CSE-510-200B Chassis
- Supermicro X7SBL-LN2 Motherboard
- Intel Xeon X3320 2.5GHz Quad-Core CPU
- 4GB PC 6400 ECC Memory
- 4x 2.5" Western Digital 250GB 7200rpm Drives
Installing the Memory.
Putting the board in the chassing, and installing the drives.
Server 2008, and Hyper-V installed.
Overall I am very impressed with this little thing. Getting the SATA, and power cables connected were a pain. I think 6" or 10" SATA cables will be on order soon to help get rid of some of the extra cable in the case.
Here you can see exactly what is in this system.

Update 4-29-2009:
I just built a 2nd one of these. They each now have 6GB of ram, and only 2x 250GB drives. Should be great for testing TraffiSqueezer
