$249^.99

The system last night, from NewEgg.com, along with the 8GB of ECC memory  an extra $60 but still less than best price of the server. When I ordred mine the deal was for $299 and included a free 2TB hard drive, not quite good now, but the server is still an excellent choice, Nexenta Community version booted right up on it, had to install via a usb cdrom or dvdrom. Other wise there is a sata port for the for Optical drives and a power plug but the process of fishing the cable through the tight case and since I was only going to use it for installation I grabbed USB dvd-rom and gave it a try and it worked, smooth as silk the entire process. I will be working on adding a a second 2TB drive to the one that came with the system, and post benchmark numbers soon. I will try and do a better job keeping my blog up to date.
