Newegg is the first place to try, specifically: http://www.newegg.com/ProductSort/Brand.asp?Brand=1655&name=The-SUPERMICRO-Store-at-Newegg or http://tinyurl.com/36kza5 A specific search turned up two listings for the X7DBE-X at 500 +- 20 US$. I get my disks from ZipZoomfly since they know how to repackage them, which Newegg has been inconsistent about, but pretty much everything else but LCD displays (for which they have outrageous no return and very limited replacement policies) I get from them. You might find cheaper prices elsewhere, but as far as I know not at their level of reliability, speed of shipping, etc. and their selection is probably impossible to beat. I've been doing business with them since 2001, and this summer I built three machines from components bought almost entirely from them, making a total of seven over the years (this includes ones for friends and my father, all are still in service to my knowledge). FrozenCPU is a good source for some obscure things that Newegg doesn't stock that you might want for cooling your server. They sell IR no contact hand held thermometers for not too much in case you're wondering just how hot your chipset, on-board display adaptor, etc. are running. - Harold _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
