Thanks!

The PC will be a completely fresh Win 7 install with a new HD for Paris and it mostly won't be connected to the internet after I set it up.
It's going to be dedicated to Paris and a SCSI card that I need for some other gear. I may also have an SSD for the Win 7 boot disk, as I have a 60Gb lying around here doing nothing.

Somebody on here recommended the HP Z400 workstation but I found the HP model (XW4600) that preceeded the Z400 has 3 PCI slots instead of the two on the Z400, giving me the potential to maybe run another EDS card at some point (need 1 slot for my SCSI card).
These workstations can operate as towers or on their sides which will allow the EDS card to be upright. They are spacious and come standard with 3 fans.

The XW4600 (Core2 Quad) is not as powerful as the Z400 (Xeon Quad or Hex) but there's not that much in it, and Paris was running on much less powerful PCs in the past, so it should be sweet.

I really appreciate the offer of help. It will be a couple of weeks at least before I can get it running due to a small renovation at my house taking longer than expected.
I'm not setting anything up gearwise until there's no more dust!
