Where did you pick up 147GB 15K SAS drives for $180 each? That's a pretty good deal.

I just picked up a Dell PowerEdge 2900III with dual Intel Zeon 5430s, 16GB memory, PERC 6i raid, dual GB nics, and redundant power for about the same price, but it had 3 80GB SATA drives in it.

Just wanted to mention that you will need three NICs. You have a good amount of RAM. Would be better to use SATA and spend on CPU and RAM for this virutalized environment. A couple of more disks would be helpful.
