Are those the best prices you've found for an assembled system? Have you considered rolling your own?

This comparison link (http://compare.intel.com/pcc/default.aspx?familyid=5&culture=en-US&iid=products_xeon5000+body_compare) just shows the L to be a lower power user. Otherwise, to me, being in the same model class implies essentially the same performane. -Tom _______________________________________________ gnucash-devel mailing list gnucash-devel@gnucash.org https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-devel
