One of the following is happening.

Used equipment
Shit equipment

LayeredTech is fairly inexpensive, but not $99 for a dual Xeon. We would be willing to match them, without the setup fee.

Keep in mind, LayeredTech is not multi-homed, we are.
Sorry TwinTone, I missed this post,

Yes, yes, I understand what you are saying, hence my post here -
I don't really care for dual xeons/opterons whatever, but dual processors/cores would be nice, since I want large threading database intensive serving, hence the ram and scsis...
