http://cgi.ebay.com/HP-XW8200-WORKSTATION-PE371UAR-USED-/320740965890 That ought to be a screamer running Linux, with that much RAM and the RAID controller. I tend to agree with Curt here---if you don't want to roll your own, get a machine that was high-end in its day and give it a second life. (Kind of like buying a W126!) You don't need the latest CPU for most things. Within reason, memory and disk performance have a bigger impact than CPU speed on perceived speed to the end user.
