(Again, I apologize for the top-posting) Looks like a good machine. The four CPU cores will definitely do us some good, especially when hammering through a lot of wiki content.
Hopefully the newer Intel chassis aren't as shitty as the older ISP1100 chassis were... Josh, any comment there? Does it have any out-of-band management capabilities? That could come in handy in the event of a problem.

I'd rather wait and get what we want than rush and get less. I agree that we should pursue getting the HCL version, even if it means waiting. So we're in agreement? This is basically what we want? 1- Intel Server System SR1530HCL (backorder if necessary) $800-900 2 - Xeon 5130, Dual Core 2.00GHz, 1333MHz FSB - $355 $710 4GB - 667MHz DDR2 ECC $700 1 - Slimline DVD-ROM for the 1U chassis $90 2 - 400GB Seagate Barracuda ES SATA-2 w/ NCQ, $145/ea $290 ------------------------------------- Total $2590-$2690 We'll order 2 - 2Gb memory sticks so we can upgrade later, when prices fall, if we decide we need it. -- Neil Schneider pacneil_at_linuxgeek_dot_net http://www.paccomp.com Key fingerprint = 67F0 E493 FCC0 0A8C 769B 8209 32D7 1DB1 8460 C47D In the beginning of a change the Patriot is a scarce man, brave, hated and scorned.
