Ahhh, ok - I thought you were talking about some complete solution from 
them. I actually found those two components here as well. Without the 
disks, I'd end up just short of CHF 500.-, which is indeed about €400. I 
have to admit, you've got me thinking there... I think I might try an 
install on one of the mini-PCs we've got flying about at work just to 
get a taste.

How would you boot the machine? The Intel ICH9R controller supports 
RAID, so I'd assume I can just install the OS on the main volume?
