Ok, this is what I'm looking at:
E3-1270v2 (for a one-time fee I can upgrade to version V3 of this) 32GB DDR-3 ECC RAM RAID controller: LSI 9271-4i 4X 240GB SSD (m500 or intel520, RAID 10 for main OS and DB) 1x 120GB SSD in ssd slot, directly connected to motherboard for backups 100mbit unmetered or 30TB on 1gig port 13x IPv4 IPMI/KVM, firewalled
This thing would fly I think.
