Newegg Shell Shocker expires 1/21 1pm PST.

AMD Turion II Neo N40L CPU (1.5GHz dual core notebook chip)
2GB DDR3 RAM (single stick, has dual slots)
250GB HDD (four bays total)
WHS 2011 (bundled with system but not preinstalled)

The server itself is a bit larger than the typical WHS boxes such as the HP Storageworks/Mediasmart or the Acer cubes. However, it is much more flexible. It supports four HDDs and one 5¼" optical drive. It also (supposedly, from end user reviews) has an internal USB port so you can boot off a USB flash drive that doesn't stick out. Something else unique is that it has two low profile PCIe slots! Also, has eSATA and VGA output. WHS boxes and various BYO NAS boxes usually don't have any video output whatsoever.
 
someone at [H] indicates this box would work with non-ECC unbuffered memory sticks.

I've researched it (bought one on deal in OP) and yes it can. You just can't mix the two, so use all ECC or all non-ECC. I believe it can take up to 8GB (2x4GB). You also probably can't use stuff with tall heatspreaders due to clearance issues.
