Great for VMWare ESXi Virtualization,
Tested and found hardware well supported under Windows XP, 7, Server 2008r2 as well as Ubuntu Linux and OpenSolaris, but ultimately settled on VMWare ESXi ($30 PCIe x1 Intel NIC required (EXPI9301CT)).
The Intel 3250 chipset + Core i5-650 brings some server class features home, but two in particular jumped out: ECC Memory and Intel VT-d (Directed I/O) IOMMU support. ECC at this price is nice, while VT-d allows some crazy hijinks under VMWare ESXi (VMDirectPath) so you can pass PCIe devices to directly to virtual machines. Nexenta gets the PCIe SAS controller for ZFS, while Windows 7 gets my PCI TV Tuner card and Ubuntu for web serving duties. Finally allowing me to virtualize my home server.
If you’d like to skip the windows tax and play with some alternate operating systems, this is definitely a reasonably priced way to get there. I do wish it had a handle like its ThinkStation E20 brother and that 4GB PC3-1333 ECC UDIMMs were cheaper, but you can’t have everything.

Great value,
The Thinkserver TS200V was easy to setup, is reasonably quick, and surprisingly quiet. I have it stuffed under the desk in my home office, and other than the initial power up, you wouldn’t notice it was there. It’s currently running ESX4i, with Windows Server 2008 64bit, and Ubuntu 64 bit, so far no problems. The case opens easily, and I was able to upgrade the DRAM to 16GB without any issues. Overall I’m very happy with the box.
