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.
