Mini-PC for fibre network

[GodAtum]

I'm thinking of setting up a fibre - fibre connection like this: http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=18442377

The Shuttle SX79R5 looks good but I dont quite understand what MB, processor and RAM it comes with (http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FS-149-SH&groupid=43&catid=2385&subcat=2253).

I need a PCIE 16x slot for the fibre card plus at least 4 spaces for SATA drives.

This (http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FS-265-OE&groupid=43&catid=2385&subcat=2325) looks nice but I think it only has 1 PCIE 16x slot which is already in use by the GPU?

not really sure what anyone would need that sort of pace for but hey ho.

The shuttle barebones come with PSU heatsync and motherboard, add RAM and CPU in this case its x79 so a SBE chip is required.
