I know it's overkill. But it will make a fine server, and a fine
entertainment box as well. :) And it's fun.

I dont want a server, I don't want a game box. I want a workstation that I
can run X at insane resolutions wile playing mp3s. I want fast compiles. I
want my "Ultimate Linux Box". What I am concerned about here is not how
much money can I save, but will the components I have selected be well
supported under linux.
