With a little more help from Webster (thanks guy!) I came up with a kickin' sub-$1K server from ewiz.com with 8 GB RAM and a quad-core Q6600 Intel CPU.
Ewiz.com has some great prices. Regards, Michael B. Smith MCITP:SA,EMA/MCSE/Exchange MVP http://TheEssentialExchange.com From: Joseph L.

I have a couple systems I do testing for Xen and *did* some Hyper-v testing with. Possibly I can suggest a config that I know works from experience that fits your budget as I built my own rigs as well. jlc From: Michael B.

I don't remember) posted a site that had really excellent prices on white-box servers. (I need something inexpensive for home that I can use as a Hyper-V server.) Anyone remember what that site was? (And, BTW, it's a real failing for me - I don't really "do" hardware. So, designing a server from the motherboard up isn't a skill I have. Webster helped me a lot yesterday, but when I gave him all of my requirements, it was more than I wanted to spend.) Thanks! Regards, Michael B.
