[Xen-users] mini-ITX Feasibility...

[fatmcgav <fatmcgav@xxxxxxxxx>]

hi all, 

i'm looking at building a Mini-ITX XEN box to run a
NAS/WebServer/uPNP/Mail/sandbox server.

Hardware wise i'm looking at:
Chenbro  http://www.chenbro.com/corporatesite/products_detail.php?serno=100
ES34069  
Jetway 
http://www.jetway.com.tw/jw/ipcboard_view.asp?proname=NC81-LF&productid=515
NC81-LF  AM2+ Mini-itx
Athlon 64 X2 or Phenom X4 AM2+ Processor
4 Gb (2x 2Gb) 667Mhz DDR2 SO-DIMM memory
80Gb 2.5" IDE Boot drive
4x 500GB 3.5" SATA Drives in a Raid5 array giving 1.5Tb before formatting. 

Now my thoughts on Dom layouts is a CentOS 5.2 x86_64 Dom0 which is doing
purely Xen. 

The 4 3.5" HDD's will be passed through to a domU Openfiler instance, which
will handle the MDRaid array, and provide Cifs/Samba/iSCSI for network file
storage and xen storage.
LAMP will probably be covered by another CentOS domU.
uPNP, SlimServer etc will be an Ubunutu DomU.
May then run a couple of sanbox DomU's aswell...

So, my questions are:
a) Does this set-up sound feasible/practical?
b) Am i better off spending the extra money on a PhenomX4, or can i get away
with a 64X2? 
c) Any other comments/ideas?

Cheers
Gavin
