those work ok (i386/amd64 kernels). you must use a 2.5" drive if you want to use the PCIE slot (get the 1x2.5" carrier, not the dual one, if you want that), and note that the PCI slots aren't usable in that chassis. supermicro also have some newer mini-itx Atom boards - ICH9: more sata, em(4), optional IPMI - and there are also numerous low-power systems from a range of manufacturers using various CPUs (VIA, Geode, EP80579, Atom, ..). if you don't need i386 compatibility, keep an eye on OpenBSD/loongson too. (or OpenBSD/armish but the supported hardware doesn't seem to be available new any more, the closest replacement for Thecus N2100 uses a different CPU [still arm-based, but this time a slower Oxford Semiconductor one rather than the XScale]). but without more information on what "server" means to you, it's hard to say what might actually be suitable...
