I am just doing some research for fun and was wondering what people are looking for. I am probably not going to do anything with these results as I love marketing on its own already.
The specs have to be realistic and possible to buy, this is about a commercial server, not something like a homeserver and a good rule of thumb is 2500 euros max.
Here are just a few samples for some inspiration:
Configuration 1
CPU: Intel Xeon E3-1230v2
RAM: 32GB ECC
4x 1TB Barracuda
LSI MegaRAID with 512MB cache and BBU
Sammy 840 Pro
IPMI
Configuration 2
CPU: Intel i7 extreme 6 core
RAM: 64GB non-ECC
4x 4TB Hitachi
LSI MegaRAID with BBU and 512MB cache
Sammy 840 Pro
Configuration 3
CPU: AMD FX-8350 (8x 4Ghz)
RAM: 32GB ECC unregistered
HP RAID with 512MB cache and BBU
4x 2TB Barracuda
Configuration 4
CPU: 2x Intel Xeon L5420
RAM: 24GB ECC
HP RAID with 512MB cache and BBU
4x 500GB Hitachi

What I would like to see:
2 x L5640
128GB Ram
6 - 10 x HDD's (SATA/SAS)
2 x SSD
I'd like...
500 cores at 3Ghz
2048GB RAM
8x 4096 TB in RAID10 w/100TB cache & BBU
Unmetered 100Gbit
US location
$500/m

Standard nodes that I am switching to and love:
E3 1245v2
32gigs of FB ram
4x1TB RE4's
LSI 9620 with BBU
1x120GB SSD
The configuration is powerfull enough for my needs and cheap enough to fit into my margins. Hopefully I will start migrate some of my customers to this type of a node.

Good morning Jarland, are you still staying with your in-laws?
E3 1245v2
32gigs of FB ram
4x1TB RE4's
LSI 9620 with BBU
1x120GB SSD
Very similar to my new nodes
@NHRoel If by staying with you mean they're still 15 miles away
Explains your hippy response :P
Why waste money on integrated graphics (that's what the 5 stands for) which also uses 8watts extra!
@BronzeByte
You are absolutely correct, the exact model is not desided yet, however I would not spend the extra money for 1270/1290 and will go with either 1230 or 1240, ivy bridge
I am actually waiting on a quote for that hardware right now, we will see what I get.
processor : 31
vendor_id : AuthenticAMD
cpu family : 21
model : 1
model name : AMD Opteron(TM) Processor 6276

@emre, those suck more power than an electric car

Hey, I never posted my home server's specs and somehow you know them!
This is your home server? DAMN! <jk
I don't know of many DS Providers in Manchester, BurstNET isn't really budget or good...
Google has offered several millions for this server, but they ain't getting it. It's all about stacking and ducktape bro ;-) Just connect the HyperTransport bridges together with ducktape and it will detect multiple sockets!
@BronzeByte
idling at the moment waiting for new 8xsas disks...
Half-decent CPU
2GB RAM
20GB HDD
50GB bandwidth
Shared 100Mbit is enough
Western/central Europe
$10/mo
pls
gooby pls
This would do for me..

Kimsufi...
A fully loaded MicroCloud . Not sure what exactly I'd want to do with it, other than put it to some sort of good use.
500 cores at 3Ghz
2048GB RAM

Make it 1Tbit unmetered with 1 ET of RAID-0, and it sounds sexy.
4x16 core (intel if possible, amd if not)
8x 2tb SAS disks
1x 512GB SSD
No hardware raid... hardware raid is a bitch.
256+ gb ram
4x gbit/s ethernet unmetered
Total cost would be about $5000+. I could see asking $750/mo for it.
Configuration 2
CPU: Intel i7 extreme 6 core
RAM: 64GB non-ECC
4x 4TB Hitachi
LSI MegaRAID with BBU and 512MB cache

As long as it's free I'd be happy.
