I just put into production testing this setup:

SunFire X4100M2 (2x Opteron Dual core) with 20Gb RAM and an LSI PCI-e
dual-channel 4Gb Fibre channel adapter, connected to Partners Data
Systems' Triton 16FA4 RAID array. The Triton array consists of 16
SATA drives and connects out to 4Gb fibre channel. I run FreeBSD 6.2
on it.

It is very fast. ;-)

It cost a bit over $20k.
