I'm excited!  This is my proposed shopping list.  The 2 WD Drives (RAID Edition)
will be setup with the 3ware in a RAID 1 config.  (Mirror)  Will FreeBSD 5.3
make use of the Dual Opteron's ?


(1)8006-2LP KIT          3ware Escalade 8006-2LP - storage controller (RAID) -
SATA-150 - PCI 64        
(2)WD2500SD      Western Digital Caviar RE WD2500SD - hard drive - 250 GB -
SATA-150
(1)GA-7A8DW      Gigabyte GA-7A8DW - mainboard - extended ATX - AMD-8111 /
AMD-8131 /AMD-8151
                         -> Board has AGP 4X/8X and a 66Mhz 64Bit PCI slot for
3Ware RAID card
(1)TITAN 550     TITAN SERIES 550 - Antec Extended ATX Case with 550 Watt power
supply
(2)OSA242AUBOX           AMD Opteron 242 1.6 GHz processor - OEM AMD Boxed
processors
(1)KRX3200AK2/1G   Kingston HyperX memory - 1024 MB ( 2 x 512 MB ) - DIMM

Cost = around $2,000 USD.

TIA
Eric
