I won't run a server that doesn't have ECC main memory. most desktop
hardware doesn't support ECC.
at home, Im using a HP MicroServer N40L
for my public internet server (at a coloc site), I just picked up a HP
DL180 G6 with 24gb ram, and 2 x Xeon X5650 cpus (6 cores each at
2.66ghz) and SAS2 raid with 14 3.5" SAS/SATA bays for $740 from ebay.
At work, we paid $6500 each for a similarly configured machines about 3
years ago. this is a 2U rackmount server, and far too noisy for
anywhere but in a rack in a data center...
