Please do; I was going to recommend you buy a Dell Optiplex that supports ECC RAM (just in case). Recent Dells have pretty good cooling configurations but you're likely to run into an issue of where to stuff all the drives you buy.

Friendly reminder: avoid motherboards with ATi chipsets, like the 780/790G lines.

I'd avoid the Optiplex units for this their power supplies aren't the best in 24/7 setups and tend to burnout quickly.

You'd be better off getting a cheap tower server for around $1500 then one of those.
