I'll probably do that then. Dual Quad L5420's with 16gb ram, 2 2tb drives and a couple ssds. Should be sufficient.

There's a reason. They're reliable and just work.

With the fact that I run some fairly important mirrors on my dedis I want somewhere I can really trust. I have a failover, but I want to have a reliable main machine.

Okay then, Quadranet it is. :)

Where did you order that? I'm interested.

So L5240 would be best it sounds like. How would an i3 compare?

WSI will not.  Quadranet (Who I am looking at right now for Colo) does not have the prices I would like for a dedi. Colocation would be better for me in the end.

http://www.geeks.com/details.asp?invtid=SM-XQC266X2-PB-R I'm thinking about getting this and loading it up with a raid card and a bunch of terabyte drives. Any experience with this server?

This is mainly why, I would like to build out a custom ssd cached server. 

I would like to own my hardware. Specifically I would like to install a server with tons of hard drive space.

@concerto49 - 1u with 1-1.5amps, 3TB on 100mbps port, and 5 ip addresses.

Ouch, $30/month for an extra .5 amps. 

Hmm, I'll have to consider these. Thanks. Btw still looking around if anyone has a good offer. :)

Not Wholesale - They aren't bad, but the customer service when needed is not the best. Although for the prices I'm looking for I shouldn't expect much. :)

I'm already at WSI for my dedi, I like them but I would rather look for a better DC if I can.

I was wondering if anyone has extra space in their racks for colo. I'm looking to pay less than $60/month for 1u with 100mbit and 3TB transfer and 5 ip addresses.  Thanks ahead of time.

I've used them quite a few times. They have some really good stuff, it's just slightly expensive for the better templates. But that's okay because generally it's all covered by the client for me.

@serverian - Gigabit port still?

Oh, and I'm not just running owncloud, I run samba, afp, and a few media protocols to stream music and video to dvd players and multimedia boxes and laptops. I average around 128MBps in the evenings while streaming lots of data. I run dual gigabit cards on separate vlans as well.

I have a rack and a small well ventilated server closet that houses all the routing and multimedia equipment for the house as is. This is more that I need a summer project and since I have outgrown the DL380 I think it's time to upgrade.
