I'm fixing to buy a dual xeon 2.8ghz myself. The Dell PowerEdge 2600. The configuration I am looking at is this: 1gig of RAM 2 18gig drives in the media bay hot-swap cage 3 36gig drives in the 6-bay hot swap all are 15K. I already have 3 36 gig drives that will move into that machine. Price is about $6,500.00, roughly... (not counting the 3 drives I am going to move from my quad 700 to this machine).
