It's a Dell server with the following spec:

4GB 667MHz memory
3 x 73GB SAS 15000 rpm disk
PERC 5/I Integrated controller card (8 ports, 256MB cache, battery backup) x 6 backplane

RAID5 is not a recipe for performance on a database, if that's what you were thinking.

Of course, without having any idea of database size or transaction rate, it's impossible to tell you if that's a good server for your needs or not. Maybe all you need is a 486. :)
