Ok, here at PARI for certain jobs I'll fire up the two beasts:
beast #1, aka spacely.pari.edu: 8 CPU E5500, 400MHz 8MB ecache, 9GB RAM, two 
fully populated D1000 drive shelves (36GB drives) running software RAID5 
across 4 qlogicpti (ISP) diffSCSI interfaces (excellent disk performance)

beast#2, aka guilty.pari.edu: 10CPU E6500, 400MHz 4MB ecache, 6GB RAM, single 
36GB drive (uses the E5500's arrays over the network)

I also have an SB150, a few U10's and U30's (one U30 running Aurora 1.0 is a 
mission-critical box; the other 29 U30's are dormant after an unsuccessful 
Beowulf experiment), and three E450's.
