I'm in for $50.  I'm retired from the University of Tennessee but up until last April I ran a 
bunch of Dell servers for Exchange, AD, and such plus LDAP, sendmail, etc.  All-in-all 
around 48 Windows boxes and around 10 RedHat boxes for directory services and email.  
I also ran another 75 or so Dell servers running RedHat.  So I have a lot of experience 
with Dell servers and we found them to be pretty good.  I'm run a lot of servers over the
years and the Dells were as good as any.  I think that you can get a pretty nice Dell server 
that would likely work for ~$2 K.  I have no idea where gerry lives but if he's in a machine 
room the Dells are all rack mounted.  Just one data point to consider.
