Thanks for the replys C-I-M and BW. So cooling, noise and power consumption will be an issue. I could probable solve the first two issues by putting it in the attic, except it weights 68kg.

I didn't win the auction. It went for £87.01 in the end. I might just keep my eye open for a slightly small model.
How do Dell's PowerEdge servers compare to Compaq/HP Proliants?
