Over here (US), I'm seeing a starting price of $59 and a buy-it-now of $79 which would be fairly compelling if I were making a standalone NAS. (Note to self: review if we need any...) The board price isn't particularly compelling since the cost new was probably about $160 about five years ago, and there'd be no Supermicro warranty.
What density and speed is the RAM? Sandy does up to 1333 while Ivy does 1600. If that's two sticks of 1333 or 1600, the RAM might be a good deal. The usual part numbers are KVR16E11/8 (1600, eBay seems about $60/stick) or KVR1333D3E9S/8G (1333, also ~$60/stick on eBay).
