I recall having bought a couple of servers and after a year.. I believe the company got renamed iXsystems.. What is the easiest/fastest way to get a quote.. email/quote system/phone? For any other vendors willing to read further Our priorities are not that complex... 1- It MUST work flawlesly with FreeBSD. (1) 2- Dual CPU, 4GB RAM with all 4GB visible(2) 3- Must work with IPMI(3) 4- 400GB+ Under 3U. We are considering going with 10K RPM 150GB raptors, so 6 to 8 drives would be nice (specially since we want RAID 10). 5- Under 6 thousand or very close to that. NOTES: 1- We have a vendor that is very "nice" and responsive, but we are possibly one of the few companies buying 2U, 3U from them. Bumping into compatibility issues. 2- We got 2 machines with 4GB, but the machines were not stable, so had to leave the "whole" on.. and only use 3GB :-( 3- This has been major issue. the combo: FreeBSD, Broadcom cards, IPMI, SMP is crashing FreeBSD with the latest server.
