Thanks for the tip.  I am getting close to wrapping up a deal with Appro
on this item:

http://www.appro.com/product/server_1122h.asp

They have the 4 HDD system for the same price as the 2 HDD system, so
that is what I was looking for.

Does anyone have any experience with freebsd-amd64 on this hardware?  I
think http://www.pogolinux.com is using similar hardware for their A64
offer, but their price seems to be consistently higher than other
vendors (I do like dealing with local vendors though).
