Appro 1124s (http://www.appro.com/1124s.html)
  * mmm... Athlon 1.533GHz MP, 4GB DDR, 1U
  * Four Hot-swap SCSI Harddrives, RAID Controller
  * 3 Hot-swap capable blowers
  * Slim CDROM

IMHO, Athlon is definitely where server class is at, but I'm an AMD
bigot.  Additionally, in any system like this, you'll want to use LVM
and a journaling filesystem, such as ext3 or reiserfs.  LVM is a must,
though.
