Ladies and Gents....this past weekend Dell released their brand new ultra high end gaming rig.
Thats right say hello to the new Dell XPS 45 and half billion supercomputer
Make sure to get yours while they are hot!
In all actuality its just my new 42u Server Rack....thought I would give you guys a teaser. Hopefully I will have the worklog posted later this week. _________________ Core I7 4790K @ 4.7 Ghz

You just need to get a bunch of 32" LCD's and fill the wall. We tried to talk Goat into doing that, but no, they were for a customer. _________________ this is the internet.

btw I see a lot of good deals on eBay.com for older Opteron boxes
just search for "rackable" under servers. A lot of them are "Make Offer" and the guy will take less to get them out the door more quickly.

Mostly S940 opterons, but some of them are the Dual Core 940s.
Some are the newer 4-digit opteron models.
Right now I see
2U 2x AMD Opteron 250 8GB RAM RAID 1TB Rackable Server (4x250GB drives) for $225 + $40 shipping. I know people who have offered him $150 for these and he bit on it.

Get yourself a SAN, and you could make a nice little cluster with those bad boys on the cheap. _________________ this is the internet.

SANs don't really decline in price like the servers do. The price per GB is still really high on the older units.
Add in the FC-HBA cost of older SANs, the FC Switches and fiber jumpers and you really end up with a high cost.
On the other hand you can use a Norco 4020, throw in 20 1TB drives, a modest system with 4 or 8GB of RAM and a quad port GbE NIC and you have a phenomenal iSCSI target for not a lot of $$$
