It's friday evening for me and I'm in a mischievous mood.... I'm not at all selling this, just saying what can be gotten. So no, I'm not hijacking.

Ehm, that would be two x quad dual core processors, yes like you said, dual quad dual core. Was that difficult, you figured it out?

That's $15,600 just in hard drives. That's the only possible way to fit a raw volume of 24TB in one physical server, unless you move up to an exotic 48-bay chassis.

These are 7200 NLSAS drives. In fact let's cut to the chase and eliminate your other points trying to negate the server - they are Dell Powervault MD3200 servers.

So this is in fact unrealistic excepting very rare high-end enterprise configurations.

10gbs IS important, when you have a private LAN infrastructure... *that* is the importance.

Well, it is 128Mbs w/ $18/mbs overage
And if you think it's crap bandwidth, give me a server in eg San Diego or New York, and I guarantee I can max out your connection on a download from one of these servers in Paris. And the traceroute will show only 6-8 hops. Guaranteed quality bandwidth, since they have a DC dedicated to these high quality servers.
--edit, I'm wrong, it's 123Mbs burstable to 10Gbs. That clarifies it :P

Well, sorry to bring it to you, but this is from one of Europe's largest providers, so there goes your debunk. Unless of course, anything outside the US is second quality.
