Price a Sun V20z > http://www.sun.com/servers/entry/v20z/ Thanks for the tip. I am getting close to wrapping up a deal with Appro on this item: http://www.appro.com/product/server_1122h.asp They have the 4 HDD system for the same price as the 2 HDD system, so that is what I was looking for. Does anyone have any experience with freebsd-amd64 on this hardware? I think http://www.pogolinux.com is using similar hardware for their A64 offer, but their price seems to be consistently higher than other vendors (I do like dealing with local vendors though). -- Justin Hopper UNIX Systems Engineer BSDHosting.net Hosting Division of Digital Oasys Inc. http://www.bsdhosting.net
