sbs 2003

i have acquired 2 Dell poweredge 2650's from the office, im looking to run SBS 2003. can anyone point me in the direction if microsoft still offers a trial for this software? if not, what would be my next course of action. however i do have server 2003 r2 standard. would they be similar? i would prefer SBS because it has everything built in.

From my understanding 2003 SBS is no longer available as a Trial Download
They only make available the current generation software as Trial Downloads so what is available now is Server 2012.

As for 2003 R2 it depends on what you want to do as you point out SBS has the entire range bundled with it where as the Standard Version needed the extras. Though otherwise it's pretty much the same as SBS with the exceptions of being it can have more systems connect to it and things like that.
