Given the inherant marketing valur of brand recognition, we are considering trying out a few Intel ISP1100 and SRMK2 models of 1U servers (not the preconfigured hosting/cache and other garbage models). Any first hand experience with loading up 4.3 Stable on these systems that would be helpful before we dump a chunk of change on some? Barring that, any other first hand recommendations for solid 1U FreeBSD friendly solutions from solid well founded companies. Looking for dual SCSI / RAID mirroring, hefty memory (a la 4GB max), low heat and power consumption... but most of all solid performer. Appreciate any input.
