Just picked one up last week, you might want to check the rebate end date though. The one I've got has an end date of 31st August...
seen info online and on retailer sites that its been extended to 1st-30th September hope someone else can confirm this
For anyone considering it...
I've got SBS2011 running on mine, and it is nice and snappy, it's got 8gb of ram in it so that'll be helping no end.
Be interesting to see how it handles Exchange 2010 as well which I'll be setting up this week, among a few other bits and pieces.
Shall let you know if I reach a 'limit' as such

I haven't monitored it tbh because my network at home isn't finished.

Seems fine to me. I've pushed 990MBit using iperf.
Think I use a program called cputemp on my server at home. I'd be more worried about the HDD temp though.
I'd go for the western digital intellipower drives. Damn good hard drives tbh.
I've been using OpenHardwareMonitor.
I setup a 'gadget' to show realtime CPU & HD temps, plus memory and load so I can see at a glance when I'm connected via RDP.
The main window keeps a log of highs (and lows) if you want to review over a period
these the ones
Yarp.
I like them because when not in use they switch themselves off automatically and safely, and its not something you have to configure in Windows either, they just do it.
Reduces overall wear and tear on the hard drive, increasing drive life span, also if you only need to transfer a small amount of data you don't need to wait for it to fully spin up, it'll spin up enough to transfer then switch itself off again, if you're doing a lot then they'll go full speed before doing it. Also, they are nion silent. I have 3 in my server and you can't hear them bubbling away
