two bargains? MB+CPU; 1U server

[D. Hugh Redelmeier]

NewEgg.ca's "Shell Shocker" (one-day deal) looks reasonable:
Biostar Motherboard + AMD Athlon II X2 240 processor for $84.98, free 
shipping.  $10 Mail In Rebate (the 84.98 price is without the rebate; 
they, of course, quote 74.98).

Dell's "SMB Days" (a few one-day deals, in sequence) today includes a
PowerEdge R210 server with no OS for what looks to me to be a good
price, $899.  I don't know much about rack-mount servers except that
they are too noisy for my house.  I infer that the Xeon X3430
processor is like an i5.

Oh, they have a massively discounted D-Link DSM-330 HD Media Player
($199.99 discounted to $59.99).  I think that this line has been
eclipsed by the WDTV-Live, Asus OPlay, Patriot Box Office, etc.  All
these things run Linux.
