Did you used to have a different name.. some 5 or 6 years ago?
I recall having bought a couple of servers and after a year.. I believe the 
company got renamed iXsystems..

What is the easiest/fastest way to get a quote.. email/quote system/phone?

For any other vendors willing to read further
Our priorities are not that complex...
1- It MUST work flawlesly with FreeBSD. (1)
2- Dual CPU, 4GB RAM with all 4GB visible(2)
3- Must work with IPMI(3)
4- 400GB+ Under 3U. We are considering going with 10K RPM 150GB raptors, 
   so 6 to 8 drives would be nice (specially since we want RAID 10).
5- Under 6 thousand or very close to that. 


NOTES:
1- We have a vendor that is very "nice" and responsive, but we are possibly 
one of the few companies buying 2U, 3U from them. Bumping into compatibility 
issues.

2- We got 2 machines with 4GB, but the machines were not stable, so had to 
leave the "whole" on.. and only use 3GB :-(

3- This has been major issue. the combo: FreeBSD, Broadcom cards, IPMI, SMP 
is crashing FreeBSD with the latest server.
