thats my definition of a middle of the road database server. I have no idea what yours is.
let me add... this server was under $7000 plus the disk drives (it actually has 25 drives, 20 are in the raid10 used for the database testing). we built this specifically to compare against 'big iron' RISC unix servers like IBM Power7 and Sun^W Oracle Sparc stuffs with SAN storage, which frequently end up deep into the 6 digit price range. as a 2-socket Intel 2U server goes, its fairly high end, but there's 4 socket and larger systems out there, as well as the monster RISC stuff where 64 or 128 CPU cores is not unheard of, and 100s of GB of ram.
