Acer Aspire Easystore AH340-UA230N
Intel Atom 1.6Ghz 2GB 1TB GBLAN 4 Bay Hotswap Windows Home Server
$320 @ Fry's B&M and online

Probably the best price I've seen without CashBack/rebates. Price is same both B&M and online. Although, tax will probably kill B&M deal and shipping will probably kill online deal.

Hopefully this will be under $300 on Black Friday.

The Acer is a vanilla Home Server install. The difference is the HP custom software.

I don't see why not. Being a WHS box, it probably doesn't have any video-out capability (like my HP WHS), so make sure your linux distro offers a headless install.

Is there something I'm missing...?

No, I don't think your missing anything, but I think AbbaZabba is missing an understanding of the difference between WHS and a NAS.

(Added)Although, some of the Thecus boxes can be hacked to add WHS, if you want to, but that adds the cost of a copy of WHS
