I'm also interested in this board/server.  I'm looking for a good database 
server that will run happily in amd64 mode.  The GX28 would be good enough (4 
hot swappable bays which is essential) but I want the option of using 
dual-core CPUs in case we want to go quad-core later.

Anyone confirm they have a functional GT24?  (Or for that matter recommend a 
similar spec server in the same price range - I can't find any)
