From the mythtv-users list:

(Dell PowerEdge SC 1430 in case the link gets broken some how)

Click bullet #4 in the first box
Click bullet #5 in the second box

Viola.. you now have a dual-quad-core Xeon 1.6, with 1GIG of ram, 80GIG HD, power supply, case, with no operating system,etc, for $779 plus shipping.

I am very very tempted to buy one.

Looks interesting. What would you be using it for?

Taking over the world, probably.

Or playing Minesweeper really really fast

But I do think this can make a good home server after increasing the RAM and hard drive capacities. I don't play computer games otherwise with a nicely equipped video card this can make a nice gaming machine as well.

I think Dell is closing this model out and replacing it with the 1900.
