Nice build. I've been considering something similar every now and then.
The argument that makes me pull back though is my fear that its power draw would be considerable.
How much power does your system draw? Idle, and/or under load?

Very interesting.
Great budget server, motherboard + 2xCPUs + ram were just under $500 from NATEX, intel server case + PSU was $100 from ebay.
So energy cost would be about €240/year where I live, assuming permanent idling. Not exactly cheap, but you get what you pay for I guess :-)
Thanks a lot for the info, and congrats on the sweet rig :-)
