I have a couple of HP MicroServers N40L's with 8gb of ram each; although they only have a dual core, and a real lower power cpu - it tends to be fast enough for most things. eg. I am using those to test the installers in 5.9/i386 and x86_64 in various conditions and the install time is very acceptable. Plus, they run CentOS5/6 32 and 64bit perfectly.
You will have to add a NIC to get a second port... And you have an optional ILO card. Only 2 slots available.
