One of our clients recently came to us with a request to build a number of print servers. Since these things have such a small footprint, they're ideal for this.
We've only noted two problems with them so far. Out of the 20 or so we've built, a couple had problems with going to sleep and never waking back up (making changes to some of the BIOS settings seemed to fix this). One of them was dead, although I don't know if we received the machine that way or if the guy putting the CPU/memory into the system might have zapped it.
A couple of us suggested that they would be great Multimedia machines for home (I think that's the market they were aiming for anyway). The price is reasonable, and when equipped with a DVD, use the S-Video or composite connectors to pipe the video to your TV, and it has four-speaker stereo. With a big enough HD, rip all your CDs to it, and then listen to your music via Sonique while piping Sonique's visualizations to your TV (assuming windoze).
It's an open source web application server and it would make the job you're referring to a snap.
