Now that you point those out -- I forgot we were thinking high-avail too.

So those redundant supplies -- very important. Make sure you can get spares.
My web/mail/dns server runs on an old compaq proliant. Not fast, but dual supplies and
easy to replace hard disks.

I have a sparc ultra5 in specialty 2U rack case free for anyone who wants to pay shipping.
Has quad Ethernet (was firewall once upon a time at an old company I worked that went dotBUST).

I think the CPU is 330MHz and it has like 512MB RAM (I'd have to power it up again).
