Thank you. After discussions on IRC, it seems these may be a good choice as well: SUPERMICRO SYS-5046A-XB 4U Server Intel X58 LGA 1366 Intel Core i7 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816101236 At $750 it's roughly $150 cheaper Plus it uses a cheaper CPU: Intel Core i7-920 Bloomfield 2.66GHz 4 x 256KB L2 Cache 8MB L3 Cache LGA 1366 130W Quad-Core Processor http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115202 $290 Then add the RAM and the HDD. -- Dan Langille -- http://langille.org/ _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hardware To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
