Ok, that's pretty interesting. I am getting my new lab system together this week. I looking at the Shuttle SZ68R5 and was going to splurge for an i7-2600 for the cores and start with 16GB RAM though the board is capable of 32, my wallet won't support it. For storage I was considering something backend like OpenFiler etc.
I was going with HyperV and going to play with Server 8 preview for now on mine.
