I ordered this about a week and a half ago, and it arrived today. It cost $126 shipped, and arrived in astonishingly pristine condition.
Like most 1u dual-proc servers, it has two squirrel cage fans and moves incredibly massive amounts of air, each one spins at between 7 and 9,000 RPM. I've so far only run debian linux on it, and am installing Windows Server 2008 on it. Debian ran ridiculously fast, and I presume that server08 will as well.
The specs are listed in the link, but I'll put them here anyway -
2x 2.4GHz Opterons w/ 800MHz busses, 1MB cache each
4x Kingston 512MB sticks of DDR400, Registered with ECC
No HDD, but has an IDE cable in place & 4x SATA
2x gig-e broadcom network interfaces
350wt PSU
I took a bunch of pictures as well, they can be found here -
As per use, I'm not entirely sure. I think I'll start it out running BOINC, and then maybe use some various web utilities on it, I'm not entirely sure. In any case, $126 shipped for this thing was a pretty awesome price.
