I did that once - but with HP servers.

"Hmm, OK, so I'll take 32 Quad-Xeon CPUs, 64 GB RAM, 16-element RAID 
array..."


(Mind you, I think that includes HP-UX, so it's probably a bagin.)

More recently I did a similar thing with Apple. I mean, a "basic" Mac 

fun, I took a PowerMac and put all the best options on it - 2x
