 Oh wow - those 6501s have SATA ports and all.
And it looks like their Atom E6xx CPU [0] supports Intel VT-x.

This Supermicro has a BMC card which is nice, but for $400 US I'd really
want Intel VT-x like Karanbir's system has.
The Atom D525 CPU [1] doesn't have VT support, but has 64-bit support.
This system is still a viable option - Thanks!
