HP Proliant DL380 G5
It has 2 x e5440 Xeon quad core chips (for a total of 8 cores) 12mb l2 cache on each
5 x 146GB SAS drives
4 MB Ram (going to upgrade the ram).
I only ask because most people seem to suggest the i7, but I can get this entire setup for $250 and figure splitting all my samples across 4 10k SAS drives would rock.
Or should I use this as my DAW to replace my i7 and put my VE Pro on the i7? I just feel it would be a waste of the 4 x 146gb SAS drives.
