At work we call these servers MACH 1's. There are 2 revisions. it looks like you have a 1U first revision model. They work well for all MS software (I never tried *nix on them). Technically HP does not support that model with Server 2012 (or R2) but they work. The biggest feature is that they have INTEL NICs built in them.
more details, these servers are (were - the DL380G8 replaced them) custom low cost servers for MS datacenters. There are 1000's of them coming out of the data centers now. There are many 2U units (SE326M1) that have 25 drives in the face.
these servers use parts from the DL160 and DL180G6 (like the 3 slot riser card for the 2U server).

Having a hard time finding the SE326R1. Do you mean the SE326M1? I see a few of them on ebay, but not very cheap.
That DOES sound like a good deal! 
. I think you forgot to indicate how much, which affects how good the deal is.... Some of these look pretty decent, I'm looking for something to move the CPU's and RAM out of some blades and this much be a cost effective way to get there...

I made an offer of 130£ with free shipping and it was automatically accepted, however - I dunno how is it possible - I received an invoice with 130£+60£ postage.
Did somebody had similar experience with best offer? How can seller change the postage costs after your successful offer?
Thanks

When you list am auction it asks for an range where you would auto accept. Auto accepts don't pay any attention to the comments posted by the bidder. So that's probably why it had no idea your offer was including the shipping as it never got as far as the seller before it auto accepted.
I've picked one up for some testing. This seller accepted my offer of $70 ($100 shipped). Comes with heatsinks. The rest of components I already have.

Finally got around to getting it running. Some Pros and Cons
Pros:
* Takes X56xx series CPU's without needing a BIOS update, running a pair of X5650s
* 8 Drive Bays!
* 6 onboard SATA ports and room in case for internal drives
* 4 Supplied SATA power connectors, 1 Molex Connector
* Dedicated ILO Management port
* Redundant power supplies
* SAS Backplane
Cons:
* Loud (This means a lot from a guy who considers the C6100 quiet), so not so good for home without some fan mods
* You will need an 8 port HBA or RAID Card or cables. The backplane cables supplied are SFF-8087 to SFF-8087, so no motherboard connection
In the end, great piece of kit for the price.

To be honest, I haven't tried the iLO yet, I still have it running on the bench so right now only using local access.
