Ideally I'd like a tower server populated with 32GB RAM. I'm not picky on brand (partial to Dell because that's what my clients run, but not a requirement) but do want Xeon instead of the AMD equivalent. The closest I can find is a Dell T300 populated with 24GB RAM for about $500 shipped, which would work (the 840 has only 8GB RAM!). Since this is for my home lab I don't mind building a white box system either. Suggestions anyone? Dell Outlet prices are out of my price range. . Tower . Xeon proc . 24+GB installed .
