This is often a fantastic small Apple Mac mini MC408LL/A Snow Leopard Server machine. I am replacing a cluster of old G4 and G5 XServes that have been used as web-application servers with these minor guys and I'm really happy with these. Even though OS X server is included, I normally replace it with OS X Customer for servers dedicated to Apache-WebObjects-MySQL application hosting since I find remote command line administration of OS X Client is a lot more familiar and convenient to me. However if using some of the several other server services, I will leave OS X Server operating system on there.
Just before Mac Mini Server arrived on the scene, many have been utilizing typical Mac Minis as servers for modest sites and modest company. Now Apple has endorsed the use on the Mac Mini as an economical server by selling it in this good sub-$1000 package with two 500GB drives. The additional drive is far far more useful than the built-in DVD drive in a server usage scenario. You'll be able to use software mirroring, or basically use Carbon Copy Cloner to perform automatic nightly backups towards the second drive.
And this tiny machine consumes a fraction with the power of an XServe and offers near silent operation when compared to a noisy whining G5 XServe. Read More About Apple Mac mini MC408LL/A Snow Leopard Server Review.
