Server Down

[robbat2]

Argh.

There was a faint acrid smell, then a loud pop, and thereafter my server went off...
Unplugged/disconnected/etc, and opened it up, to find that it had blown a capacitor.
I have taken pics, but obviously can't put them until until the server is functioning in some way again.
A friend with a spare mobo that's a close match is coming over a bit later, but until then, my email and website are offline.

Hopefully the board in the server is still under warranty.
If it isn't then it's time to explore a new server, maybe in one of those shuttle-style mini cases.
Is anybody aware of a SFF system that has a PCI slot and TWO LAN ports?
It would need to fit 2x 3.5" drives as well, for my 3ware RAID.

it would be nice if Luke-based products were actually widely available.
I've seen exactly one so far, in a chassis with only 1x 3.5" space.

I should have added that having the same or more horsepower than my existing server was a strong consideration as well (Athlon-XP Barton 1800Mhz, 3x 512Mb SDRAM). It does a lot more than just routing.

Two blondes were going to Disneyland when they came to a fork in the road. The sign read: "Disneyland Left."
So they went home.
