I don't think small size and cool shape are particularly important for a server.

The "spec" (40G disk, no expansion capabilities) kind of sucks
for a modern server, but I guess that depends on what you're using it to
serve. And $500 seems high to me for such a system. You could put together
a faster AMD-based system with more disk and expansion capabilities for
less money.

It might make a nice desktop for casual use though.
