I see a bunch of others already warned you of the downfalls, and
therefore you've canceled your order.  One more thing I wanted to
point out for anyone else that may be interested.  Anything sold as a
"server" is likely going to be LOUD.  Fans roaring and making a ton of
noise.  That's been the case on every server I've seen.  Loud fans
aren't ideal for the MythTV croud.  Just a thought.

Good luck with your shopping.
