CentOS - Feb 2008 - New hardware to run CentOS

As I say before, I'm running databases with a lot of users on a CentOS4x
server. Somebody ask me to search the latest hardware to migrate my
databases to this new server. I have now an HP EVA8000 storage with a
lot of hdds, so I want know which is the best hardware to get the best
performance with my storage (HP-EVA8000). Any idea will be appreciate. 

 

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Israel,

Sun seems to have a good special going on right now on their
latest X4600 server. 8 processor, dual core Opteron, 32GB of memory
for $20k. Expandable to quad core(when the quad cores ship), and
256GB of memory. Throw a couple FC cards in it and you should
have a pretty bad ass DB server.
