I once had a 2U rack server. Proper double Pentium III's inside, ECC RAM, serial console, alarms on the case, everything. Doubled as a coffee table in my living room. Alas, I was young.
Nowadays I have an Array R2 pc case with six HDDs, one SSD for the OS, a mini-itx board and an Intel CPU with virtualization support (I really don't remember the model) and a few gigs of RAM. All (except the HDDs) were bought new at about the same cost. The SSD is a 32GB chinese model from eBay. The machine is powerful, quiet when the HDDs are spinned down, relatively small and elegant and acts as NAS, Server, testbed, etc. Also at idle it consumes about 20W.
