i'd say it's BS, save your money !!!
i wouldn't trust all that "on-board"
junk.  you don't know what it is,
or if it will work (esp w/FBSD).
and if it doesn't, the whole
setup is worthless ...

additionally, if an "on-board"
thingie screws up, you'll most
likely have to trash everything.
you don't even say if it's a
standard AT or ATX case ...

$300 for a case and motherboard?
the rest is only $200 worth ...

the NT server isn't worth anything.
(yeah, so it has 2 150 mhz cpu's)
(the price is like 300 mhz cpu's)
