I went the route of a cheaper celeron and a mini ATX board for my server as well, the Atom boards just seemed a little too small and basic for me, plus I didn't really feel like spending more on an add in card for more SATA ports, which I think is the Atom's biggest downfall.

I agree, too small and basic for me. I only need 1 SATA port so it doesn't really matter much for me.

What do you run on your server trainguy?

I'm running windows home server, can't complain about it in the least, what an easy setup (after dealing with Vista, nothing scares me anymore)

lol, I've been looking into WHS and also going to build a server with it, I like it since it accepts Linux backups (H)
