Got the parts in today, and got it assembled, will be doing a 24 hour burn-in at 100% mysql and cpu load before it goes into production hosting this place.

2U eh? Pretty big... Sounds like a perfectly functional webserver. Since it will be dedicated I'm sure it will be much better than whatever we have now.

1U Servers are annoying to build, and a pain to work on, plus more expensive for mobo options etc.

What kind of connectivity do you have? You are going to run this out of your house?

10Meg pipe to the Westin in downtown Seattle (PNW Internet Hub)

Server will be colocated about 10 min from my house.

Looks sweet, James. Nice work.

Any noticeable improvements to be had once we switch over?

Well its dedicated, and we have more bandwidth to burn, so it will allow us to nicely take on some enhanced forum features.

My main database server at my office is a Quad AMD Opteron, just the mobo was 1100 bucks.

Fun as hell to build it, and faster then shit.

AMD has come a long way =)
