Which is a good reason to get one now. I have one (running FreeBSD and ZFS), and it has been great. I does what I ask of a homeserver: it runs silently and is pretty good at saturating a 1Gb connection, the RAM really helps the performance. All at a great price.

I would have, but at the time I was looking to purchase (very recently) the hardware was already getting a little long in the tooth.

That combined with the costs of getting a static IP and a few other things I'd want for hosting @ home, and I decided to use a VPS instead.
