My real reservation so far is that they have _loads_ of onboard devices 
that
soak up interrupt slots. I've managed to turn off most of them, but I'd 
like to get
rid of 3 of the 4 usb controllers and I can't find the bios button for 
that.

We have a couple of others running as light mail and web servers.
