[K12OSN] New server

[Brian Chase]

If you're gonna spend $3000, you'd be better off with a TYAN dual 
Opteron motherboard.

I just built a system for less than $2300:

    Dual Opteron 240's (full 64-bit computing, unlike Xeon)
    Tyan S2882 Thunder mainboard with SCSI & SATA on board, RAID 0, 1
    3Ware Raid 5 card
    4G RAM, expandable to 16G on board
    3 WD Raptors (10Krpm SATA drives for RAID 5 array)
    Proware RAID 5 hot swap cage

Your money, but I'd look on the TYAN site for the rackmount units that 
use this board.
