All of these items were purchased at NewEgg.com for about $664, not including the shipping charges or sales tax.

The rest of the items typically needed to build a bare-bones computer such as a CD drive, keyboard, mouse and monitor were castoff items already at hand.

This setup currently hosts 2-64-bit guest operating systems using XenServer 5.5.  No compatibility problems.  It’s a quiet setup and I am very happy with its speed and performance.
