HP DL 380 G4 w/ 2 x Xeons and as much memory and disk that money will
buy.

We use here at OSU and they are great.  One of the best features, is the
out of band management ... I can boot off of the CDROM or power the
machine off from anywhere in the world meaning shorter downtimes and
quicker recoveries from the rare failures that we have.

Just my $0.02 (I imagine I won't be the only one with an opinion on
this),

Scott :-)
