Barely worth it anymore, these days you can find an Intel Server Chassis
SR2300 and Intel Server Board SE7501WV2 (SCSI) for $1,500; it's a 2U
dual-Xeon dual-channel DDR with 6 hot-swap scsi bays. I have to say that
I get impatient when I work on anything that does not have dual-channel
DDR; it does not take much time to get used to it :-(

Hear, hear. And since it's new, no re-licensing issues.
Hardware costs nothing these days:

Maybe that's what I'll ask Santa this year: a BFR^H^H^H GSR to replace
my home router.
<shameless plug>
Looking for someone to provide an OC-12 to my home for $100/mo so I can
test the router mentioned above. Oh, I also need this, don't I?
