I happened to be looking at uBid.com for any deals when I happened upon this state-of-the-art dell poweredge server with features hot out of research labs.
I kid you not, If after reading, you find it hard to stop yourself from bidding, go to ubid and search for item 7497337.
And now (drumolls please) is the latest advance of mankind into computer technology.

KEY FEATURES AT A GLANCE:
?? Dual Intel Pentium III 500MHz microprocessors with an internal operating frequency of 500 megahertz (MHz) and an external bus speed of 100MHz. The Pentium microprocessor includes MMX technology designed to handle complex multimedia and communications software. This microprocessor incorporates innovative instructions and data types as well as a technique called single instruction, multiple data (SIMD) that allows each microprocessor to process multiple data elements in parallel, thereby improving overall system performance.
?? A secondary (Level 2) cache of 512 kilobytes (KB) of static random-access memory (SRAM) is included within the single-edge contact (SEC) cartridge that contains each microprocessor. Math coprocessor functionality is internal to the microprocessor.
?? Support for symmetric multiprocessing (SMP) is achieved by installing the second Pentium III microprocessor. SMP greatly improves overall system performance by dividing microprocessor operations among the independent microprocessors.
?? 512MB of system memory, upgradable to a maximum of 2 gigabytes (GB) by installing combinations of 64 or 128MB unbuffered synchronous dynamic random-access memory (SDRAM) in dual in-line memory modules (DIMMs) or 256 or 512MB registered SDRAM DIMMs in the 4 DIMM sockets on the system board. You cannot mix unbuffered SDRAM and registered SDRAM in the system.
?? A basic input/output system (BIOS) that resides in flash memory on the Industry Standard Architecture (ISA) bus and can be upgraded if required.
?? Two 17GB Ultra3 hot-pluggable, 1-inch, small computer system interface (SCSI) hard-disk drives, which can be upgraded.
?? 275Watts power supply (upgradable to three). Multiple power supplies require a power-supply paralleling board (PSPB) and are hot-pluggable from the PSPB.
NOTE: A minimum configuration of two power supplies is nonredundant. To ensure redundancy, you must use three power supplies.
?? Four redundant system cooling fans housed in a single, hot-swappable module.
