Everything here seems fine on these models. I like the low power, fanless design, and WHS.
BUT, two hard drives max is WAY too small.
Personally, I am running WHS on an ancient (circa 1998) Dell Workstation running dual PIII/800 CPUs, with 512MB RAM. (The system actually shipped with a single PII/400, which was top of the line at the time.) Cheap, totally obsolete hardware, but all I had to do was add a cheap IDE SATA and I can use the four internal hard drive bays to make a great WHS. Possibly a little power hungry, but the system cost me nothing, since it was stored in the attic. It'd run fine with even only one of the CPU's, but I can't find the old SLOT1 socket terminator that I'd need to use if I removed one CPU....
