Hi Charles,
For affordable branded servers, you can try out the Sunfires from Sun.
The X2100 servers have a nice price at least in my opinion. They aren't
working out of the box though....as is usually the case in most entry
level servers I've seen.
Frankly however, unless you plan to purchase a whole bunch of servers, I
don't see the point in getting the rack-mountable form factor units
(especially if you don't have a server cabinet). You might as well
purchase a single high-end workstation in a desktop form-factor and make
that your server. Try looking at least for SATA instead of SCSI to
reduce costs, but don't skip out on RAID.
How much are those? Im using a 12u rack at home. I want an opteron box
as a workstation. Looks like its the only way to buy an opteron system
for software development.
