I purchased a Penguin Computing Relion 102 server with 4 harddrives (
http://tinyurl.com/9y3j7 ), installed the NuOnce BQ CD on it, and
configured the drives for software raid 5.  I have been quite happy
with my box.  The only complaint is that they do not have a rail kit
to put this in a 2 post telco style rack.
