I think that since this is a leasing deal, the price of ECC ram sounded
alot more scary then it really is. When it comes down to monthly cost,
it's rather nominal in my opinion.

It is, but your practice is very sound. After all the discussion that has
been going on here in private e-mail, I've decided to go for the ECC mem
once I figured out that it wasn't really that bad when done with a lease
which is how we were going to do the server anyways :) Thanks for your
advice and suggestions.
