Thanks for all the feedback!
The biggest problem is shipping, as somehow not a lot of these boxes
made it to Europe... Which rules the SI400/800 series out...
I'm happy with the 100Mb ports and low horsepower, as it'll never see
any serious traffic anyway.
Looks like even the SI-4G is above my budget on ebay, so I guess I'll
stick with the old ones...
Thanks again!

The most recent code versions for each of the ServerIron platforms:
FCSLB8/16/XLs = 7.5
SI400/SI800s with WSM4s = 9.4
SI-4G = 11.0
SI GTC/GTE/350/450/850s with WSM6/7s = 11.0
The ADXs started at 12.0 and go up from there.
I'd go for a 4G and/or GT if you can pick one up on the cheap. If not,
you'll still get a lot more with a SI400/WSM4 than an old XL.

Subject: Re: [f-nsp] Serveriron XL vs ADX
If you are only wanting to play with basic load-balancing, they are
relatively similar IIRC (it's been about 4 years since we upgraded from the
XLs to the ADXes). The old XLs don't support the new content-based load
balancing (ie. using an HTTP header to set affinity or using the URL to
decide which server to send traffic to, I think brocade calls it 'content
switching').

Hi all,
While getting ready for the BCLP 2013, I'm considering getting a
Serveriron for my home lab.
Question is: does it make sense to get an old FSB8 (FCSLB8), or the
codebase on that is useless-ancient compared to an ADX?
Of course I can't really afford even an ADX1000 just to fool around...
Any input appreciated!
Cheers,
Tamas
