The Guardian OS units did not start showing up here on a regular basis till about a year ago. I only know of one user (Phoenix32) that has one, and is working on that. But since the 4400 requires you to install a video card to see whats going on it not as easy as the 4500. BIOS access is needed to turn the watchdog off.

Or you can buy a Dell 715N which is running on Win2k3 cheaper than the Snap 4400. I have one here that belongs to Hallis, we tried to load FreeNAS on it. But did not know what network chips set was required. I have not had the time to mess with it since then.
