I was looking at Intel Core-based architectures and processors because I aim 
to use an ideal little Shuttle box for this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16856101070

It's got room for 4 SATA drives, no display card (it'll run headless), and 2 
PCI-x and 2 eSATA connectors for further expansion.  A lot of the other 
barebones boxes, like at logicsupply.com, don't have room for many or any 
drives.
