Vastra
The cool thing about this little 1U server is that it has full IPMI hardware in it, so it can be fully controlled from an ethernet port. Powered off and on, bios settings adjusted, everything.
Also cool that it has 4 1000BT ethernet ports.

Postfix and IMAP and MySQL??
Even if I don't use a Vastra server to host email, IMAP is still a great way to store and manage voicemail messages. If you CAN set up an email client to read the messages (leaving them on the server) then when you have read all of them via email the server will turn off your MWI lights everywhere.
