Do you have any ideas how to connect with such a builder? So far, I've only looked at a couple of those build it online type sites where they allow you to pick parts from a list they have. The one where I quoted the price 1300+ was found on ebay called magic-micro. I have no connection with them or any special reason to think they are particularly `good', its just one that I found by accidentally scrolling further down a ebay page than usual and happend to notice a `Customize it' link. And I gradually gravitated toward the higher end stuff, as my eyes got bigger :). They had plenty of various brand amd quads too, not just the 6 core phenom setup I picked. I would really like to hear from someone with personal experience with a builder available on line that would be knowledgeable of solaris and zfs and the necessary hardware. > You can spend less with a dedicated predesigned commercial unit... Can you name a few? _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
