[OmniOS-discuss] An alternative to HP Microserver Gen8?

[Josh Coombs]

I've just started looking into this myself.  Seems the common alternatives
are the Dell T20 (on cybermonday blow out this week) and Lenovo T130.  Both
have support for ECC RAM and four 3.5" drives, but not via externally
accessible bays like the HP unfortunately.

IX Systems has the FreeNAS Mini which looks slick, but doesn't have an
appealing price tag.  (Got this suggestion from the #illumos channel.)

Supermicro has

which looks to have potential as a direct competitor to the microserver,
utilizing the mobo Lauri mentioned.  Supermicro has a bunch of builds based
around that chassis depending on how much grunt you want, all SATA based
though.
