[Pc_Support] Ready to Play Linux Server Recommendations?

[Jason Boxman]

Anyone have any thoughts on x86 boxes ready to rock that need only have Linux 
installed?  I'm looking for something in the $4-$5K range.

It's going to be primarily a database server with some Web application 
development against said database server taking place.  The datasets are of a 
moderate size, so 60GB of disk space or more is estimated.  I'm looking for 
something that's SCA with RAID, preferably 4U in size.

The current machine is a dual P3 box with 2GB of PC133 ECC RAM and an old 
Adaptec 2100-S RAID controller with 3 18GB Seagate Cheetah 10Ks in a RAID 5 
configuration.

Disks, redundancy, and disk accessibility are my primary interests.  The 
existing CPU and RAM have proven adequate for our needs so far.

Thoughts on vendors and such?

Thanks.
