I think they are referring to the sff model not the desktop one. The sffs have about the same footprint as an average laptop but they are the height of about 2 - 3 laptops.
If they are still running now, they will probably not have that issue. We've got around 15 of the GX270/280 here all at least 4 years old and only one failed, and that was virtually after delivery sorted under warranty so don't know if it was HD and / or motherboard.

If you are hoping to serve up some php pages, presumably that also means you are wanting a mySQL type database running? If so, whilst you may not need the server to have a potent CPU, especially for a home connection where the broadband will limit the number of users, you do want it to have a reasonable smattering of RAM.
