Excellent. This would make a great backup. I need to update that thread. Now that LGA 2011 is out, there are a lot more upgrade paths available with that socket. 8-16 RAM slots, 2 Processors (from 4 to 8 cores each with HT), several PCI-E slots. I'll probably add a few more higher categories like machines that can handle several guest VMs. Also, the new Western Digital Reds make storage a lot more affordable with all the nice "enterprise" features like TLER, etc.
