I hope not -- I got the server from Intrex about a year ago (d'oh -- 
just pulled out the receipt and wouldn't you know it?  June 23rd, just 
after the 1 year free labor/parts warranty ;)).  It's a single Celeron 
1.7GHz processor with 1G DDR PC2700 RAM and a generic 80GB 7200 HD, all 
in a 4U case.
