I'm looking for recommendations for rock solid
RM systems to run SL3.  When the simulation
farm is cranking, these will be running hard
almost non-stop for weeks.  I need something
that just keeps running.  The whole system
with 2GB RAM and 80GB or so should come in
under $1500 (closer to $1K would be ideal).
I prefer AMD processors (don't care if it's
Athalon, Opteron, or what).  but if I have
to go Intel to get the reliability I will.
Looking for the most bang for the buck, not
the fastest possible processor.

Any and all recommendations are welcome.

A vendor has recommended the SuperMicro
A+ Server 1010S-MR (Super H8SSL-i mobo,
based on the ServerWorks HT-1000 chipset).
Do any of you have experience with this
running SL3 (or RHEL3)?

Some of our tool vendors require RHEL3,
which is why we use SL3 and not SL4.

Thanks,
Miles
