I would be more interested if we used a low voltage variant. It would be better in the long run for our costs. Also I am in the market for a new 2u motherboard myself. I found a 159 supermicro board, an e1220 for 219 and we could use the same ram/heatsink. <br>

I've been thinking it would be worth upgrading the machine in the space<br>
we use to run Pony. Right now it's a crappy dual core AMD machine that's<br>
about 3 years old. I would like to be able to have more ram for running<br>
virtual machines for various local services.<br>
<br>
Here's a shopping list I put together:<br>
