[Rdo-list] Cheap, quiet hardware for a small RDO installation?

[Kodiak Firesmith]

I recently did this using micro-ATX to save money over they shuttle / ITX
form factor.  I built around the cheapest low-wattage AMD quad-core APU I
could find on Newegg with 8GB RAM on each box and slow 1tb spinning
platters.  I think I got down to about $340 / each for all components
including PCI-e 2x1GB NICs I got second hand from a parts liquidator.  If
you are interested in specifics I can try to compile them after work.
