I planning a file server for home use and want it to be nice and low power.

I can get a AMD AM2 Sempron LE-1100 for around £25

Is there an Intel alternative for a reasonable price?
 
Thanks Hesky, I'll probably go for either 430 or 440 and try undervolting them for even more savings :) It might even be cool enough to go passive.
 
It's only a small file server, doesn't need much umph; I was tempted to go for an Intel D201GLY2 but with only 2 SATA ports and only 10/100 ethernet it lacked the expandability for future drives
