Low cost, energy efficient home pc server?

[jay-R5TnC2l8y5lBDgjK7y7TUQ at public.gmane.org]

Been using the shuttle for web meadia, running xubuntu, for a few months and not had a problem at all. 

I went barebones with the same celeron but more ram and hd. Also custom fit a fanless heatsink on the celeron due to the noise of the stock one but I'm not sure what shuttle uses. 

The formfactor is great for a bookshelf location (though a deep one) but not the best small form factor for desktop or the like.

I was following this thread with some interest.  I want to build a
cheap, low-power server for my personal use also.  I was wondering how
it was working out with the Shuttle...  Though to be honest, I never
did like the cube-style PC case.  I was hoping to find something
with a form factor similar to the Dell Optiplex 755 for around the
same price as the shuttle... :)  I have thusfar only spent a small
amount of time looking, due to a general lack of free time, but didn't
find anything.  If folks have had good luck with the Shuttle, I may
consider that more seriously.

Thanks!
