Wow. My Dell 2900 was only around $3500. Your components must be more costly, although I do have seven drives and two RAID cards. You have to let me know how the 2011 works.
You do know that 2008 and 2011 both have the fastest and most secure remote logons ever. RDP now uses 443 and no longer uses 3389. Just a couple of settings.
It's pretty cool because you can also get to any computer in your network. You don't have to port forward from 3389 to 3390, etc. Just enter the FQDN of the computer and you log right in. It's cool, too, because instead of just watching it connect, it will actually say, "configuring connection, then securing connection."
I have a Windows Server 2008 Std, lying around. I keep thinking about setting up a Terminal Server, but I am the only one who logs in remotely so it doesn't really make much sense.
I guess I have never really understood why someone doesn't go with SBS. It's likely because they have never heard of it. Someone told me, or I wouldn't have known I suppose.
