Server Costs, whats this worth?

[reckedracing]

It is an HP ML370 G4 Tower Server with 2 GIG’s ECC / REG Memory, 148 Gig RAID 5 Hard drives (Striped and Mirrored), Smart Array RAID 641 Controller. Gigabit Ethernet and Ethernet Lights-out management. Warranty is 3 year parts and labor with 4 hour same day response for hardware failures. The system also includes a 24 port Gigabit Switch.

anyone wanna guess how much my boss is paying for this?

Little off topic, but Raid 5 != Mirrored and Striped. Mirroring + striping is Raid 0+1 or Raid 01. Raid 5 is cooler (if you want the long version RAID - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia )
