Virus.Org Hardware Update

So in the next few weeks I’ll be looking to update the hardware for Virus.Org, problem is what to move the site to. Need some suggestions really for places to get good, cheap and reliable rackmounted servers. I’ve been looking at Dell kit but to get it to the level I want options for their machines seem really quite expensive, which is a bit of a bummer. Ideally I need two P4 class servers, both with RAID S-ATA disk setups and a minimum of 1Gb of RAM each.

I’m seriously thinking EM64T Xeon machines however, there is the AMD64 route too.. Decisions decisions… Originally I was thinking a single dual Xeon, but that could get quite expensive..
