FYI, so you dont get screwed some place else:
20TB = about 135Mbps.
An OK price for this would be around ~$20/Mbps.
Then the servers are about $300/month each. This is with full server hardware, not desktop hardware.
Left over is the LB+Firewall and management costs, which will vary depending on your specific needs.

Load balancer + firewall (both capable of 1 Gbps sustained bandwidth)
Present quote: $19,000 per month based on an 18 month contract.
Also include uptime contract, guaranteed build time, support options, bandwidth overage charges, comparative solutions that have been implemented.
Other options will be considered if your organization is aware of another way to maximize the potential of this network - "Clustering" for example.

Face it, this is just not a $300/month server. Additonally, he's only asking for 1x73GB hdd (we know he means SAS, not actual (P)SCSI), not multiple 146 or 300GB's.
Also, 'Dual-core'. This could be either a Woodcrest or a Conroe, for example. Again, NOT $300/month material. I stand by the fact that this can be a $175/month server, no problem. Sorry if you can't compete with that.
Also, I don't know who you think you're fooling with $20/mbps prices, because that's just hilarious.
