That machine I mentioned, configured with 2 x 6 core 2.8Ghz E5660's and 
48GB ram, and the 25 bay SFF (2.5") drive chassis, redundant power, and 
a P411 RAID card with 1gb flash-back write-cache (equivalent to battery 
backed, but without needing battery replacements every 3-4 years) was 
about $8000 with a discount.  and no disks.

for $500, you could get a low end desktop computer.   or a HP microserver.
