I _would_ question using a server box like the 50S. You could get poor
interactive performance. Admittedly it's supposed to be better now, but we
got bit verrry badly with a 50S. If you can keep your interactive CPU % <
10%, you'll probably be OK.

I say:
We use a S20 for development.  We've always liked the server models for 
development machines.  They are very fast on compiles.  Most of our upgrades 
have been because of more disk space needed, and to test out machines prior to 
going to new hardware for our production machines.  The server models are 
tailored for client serving - and batch.
