Most involve some AMD Opertons, lots of spindles with a good raid controller preferred to one or two large disks and a good helping of ram. Be interesting to get some numbers on the sunfire machine.
I can highly recommend the SunFire X4100, however the only dual- channel RAID card that fits in the box is the Adaptec 2230SLP. It is not quite as fast as the LSI 320-2x when running freebsd, but is sufficient for my purpose.
