If you are looking the best value, check out Dell or HP.


Last time I checked (a couple of weeks ago), Sun 1 and 2U boxes were
the best priced.

[*please* don't quote signatures]

I just priced Dell SC1435. It is lower than Sun X4140 with comparable
configurations. One thing worth noting though, you can fit 8 drives in X4140
but only 2 in SC1435.

Exactly. One has to compare apples with apples.

The quotes I had were based on the "maxed out" X4140 configurations on
Sun's store. I'm sure there are smaller configurations were Dell or HP
would be better value, but offer less expansion options.
