They use very little power so you don't need fans which is nice. And they have ipmi controllers. The processors are 8 core and will easily outstrip a 5i or 7i. http://www.asrockrack.com/general/productdetail.asp?Model=C2750D4I Highly recommended!! the supermicro one is quite good also. Comes with and extra pcie x4 slot.
