Absolutely - that is great. A small board with on-board Gigabit Ethernet, 6x SATA RAID, the ability to choose a CPU and dual memory sockets (4 Gig RAM support) would make a a great "home/SOHO" server and will likely be adopted by OEMs for Windows Home Server boxes (esp. coupled with the zippy dual core Celeron CPU ;^)

Thanks for the pointer - I hope the boards retail for less than $100/each...
