I like the Intel > Xeon CPU I have a Supermicro chassis with dual E5620s and an eight bay 3.5" SAS cage that's given me no trouble for the last two years, with 24GB of ECC RAM and no drives it cost me £200 on eBay a couple of years ago. A full set of 2TB 3.5" SAS drives cost about the same and have also given no trouble. There's *way* too much CPU power for my needs even with the drives encrypted but with half the cores turned off and the clock throttled to minimum it runs reasonably quietly and keeps up with the load handily. -- Steve O'Hara-Smith
