asterisk users - Feb 2009 - hardware that can accomondate 2 TDM24

Hi guys,

I'm building a server that need to host 2 digium TDM24 cards.
I know any 3U server with 2 PCI-E slots would do. Since I do prefer supermicro
server, but getting one configured is pretty darn hard.

Any suggestions here?

Cheers,

Are you locked into the 3U form factor? 

We're running Asterisk on a Dell PowerEdge 1950 (1U, 2 full height PCI-E
slots [one home to an AEX-804E], 3 drive bays, redundant power).

I both the 2950 and 2970 (both are 2U, variable number of drive bays based on
the config you choose, the 2950 shares firmware with the 1950) can be ordered
with PCI-E risers because we have a handful in our datacenter, but I have no
idea how many slots -- I want to say 3.

I think the TDM24 is too long to fit in a 1950, but I'm pretty sure
(you'd have to check) that the 2950/70 has at least two full-length slots.

HTH, 

Lincoln
