This is the time of the year where I annoy the list with pointless questions again.
I used to use an X2100 M2 Sun box as a staple, but for some unfathomable reason Sun decided to jack up the dual-core barebone price by 300+ EUR. Real smart move, that. I've used HP ProLiant DL165G5, but FSC VFY Primergy Eco 230R is even cheaper albeit 2U, and can take up to 6 SATA or SAS drives, which is a bonus for a particular I/O-intensive use pattern. Anyone using these, and is happy with the remote management/SNMP? Or should I ruy away from these, screaming? Or is an equivalent Dell box (which?) the way to go? If anyone is familiar with a nice cheap Phenom/Phenom II 1U rackmount barebone of about 65 cm depth which which can take unbuffered DIMMs and 2-4 SATA drives (I could survive without IPMI, I guess) you would be my absolute hero.
