Pieter is running his www.bwired.nl on the same CPU and also his database and HA system. So i think it will do.

That's very good and with low power usage.

Like Robert is telling, more then enough
check this http://www.bwired.nl/weblog.asp?id=281

I'm now replacing the Harddisk with a SLC drive

I cant see which mobo you have, there are two Intel and Foxconn.
The Intel has a Loud fan which needs replacing and the other one has no fan at all, but don't know the quality of the Mobo.
The Foxconn has 100mb lan instead of 1GB, so check first.

Thank you all for your input. So it seems like a good deal. It has a Intel mobo, so i will look for another fan.
