Yeah.. I'd go for server A then given those specs. The upgrade to the "oldschool" Xeons at 3Ghz will be a significant CPU upgrade in itself. While the Core2 CPU is somewhat better, it's not going to "blow away" the dual 3Ghz Xeon in real-world performance.

For static image hosting like that, SCSI (or SAS) simply cannot be beat. The differences between SATA are still beyond what I'd expect due to specs - A 10krpm SCSI or SAS drive will simply wipe the floor with a 10krpm SATA drive in the real world.
