I'm a penny-pincher, and I saw a only one thing that really stuck out... > 196 G RAM <- this was $45k alone
Ouch! Is that 196 Gig per computer, or total for the 3 servers? Even if it's 196 per computer, Crucial can get you that much ram for $8100... As long as I'm looking at the right memory. http://www.crucial.com/store/listparts.aspx?model=ProLiant%20DL380%20G7&Cat=RAM 48GB Kit - ($899.99 each) * 3 for each server ($2699.97) * 3 servers = $8099.91 <kidding>Hey, I just saved you $36k! Can I get a commission for that?
