They tend to run a bit hot though, with restricted airflow within the
case. As such - not perfect for 24x7 use IMO. Presumably this thing
will be stuck in a rack or out of the way somewhere, in which case
looks are immaterial? If so, how about a low end Dell server (nicely
engineered, reliable, inexpensive), or if you are concerned about
minimising power consumption, a mini-itx.
