No offense taken. Looking for one that doesn't have PCI Express on it. It will be postgres/storage server.
This isn't what we usually call server class hardware. But we have a Gigabyte barebones system (comes with K8VM800M mATX board) with 1.6ghz Sempron64 that became a temp mail server in a moment of panic, and performed so well that it ended up becoming the permanent server. The board has three PCI slots and one AGP, onboard SATA, no PCI-e. It has onboard LAN and can take up to 2GB RAM (2x DDR slots). If you would consider this, I would recommend the barebones package. It's a very sturdy box, looks good, has good thermal design (comes with a 12" fan) and is very quiet. If I recall correctly the product code is GB-MB41LB. We've deployed a couple of these where serious server hardware isn't required, and they've served us very well. Hans
