I don't need GB Ethernet and highest possible performance. There are
only three to five users. I need the machine for file service, email,
web service on a slow internet connection and the daily fun with sam
and rio. Because the machine will run some years it would be nice if I
can use "new" hardware. I would like to put 4 disks and a CDROM in the
server so I need a bus where I can put 5 units on. Thats why I'm
looking for SATA.

If GB Ethernet the only problem I can deal with it. The Tyan maybe an
option. If there is another/better ...

Thanks for help
