I am sure the Tier-1 stuff will work just fine. I have an HP unit on order
thus :
HP Proliant DL165G7 server, 1U Rack Server,
2 × AMD Opteron Processor Model 6172 ( 12 core, 2.1 GHz, 12MB Level 3
Cache, 80W),
dual socket configuration for 24-cores in total, 16GB (8 x 2GB) Advanced
ECC PC3-10600R (RDIMM) memory,
Twenty Four DIMM slots, 2 PCI-E Slots ( 1 PCI Express expansion slot 1,
low-profile, half-length and PCI Express expansion slot 2 full height full
length ×16 75W +EXT 75W with optional PCI-X support ),
2x HP NC362i Integrated Dual Port Gigabit Server Adapter,
Storage Controller (1) Smart Array P410i/256MB BBWC, single HP 500W CS HE
Power Supply,
no internal HDD, slim height 9.5mm DVD included, no OS - no Monitor, 3
year warranty
So when it gets in I'll toss it into a rack, hook up a serial cable and
then boot *whatever* as verbosely as possible.[1]
If you want you can ssh in to the blastwave server farm and jump on that
also ... I'm always game to play with such things.
