Yes, I know there is the HCL, but I'm looking for opinions, not what's listed to just work. :) Right now I was looking for a 2U chassis with redundant power, but I haven't seen any that have 450W redundant power yet, and as far as I know, I'll need a minimum of 400W with dual Athlon MPs. Any opinions and URLs to suggested vendors are welcome. Thanks for the information in advance, Chris To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message
