[rescue] IBM RS6000 B50? Good? HP J6000?

[Ethan O'Toole]

I've toyed with the idea for a while of getting two boxes, so I can add 
more HP-UX and IBM AIX skills to my resume.

The IBM RS/6000 B50 seems like a cost effective, 2u rackmount system that 
runs AIX. Is there anything faster/better in the same form factor at the 
price point?

The HP J6000 seems to be a 2u rackmount, depending on the config. How does 
it hold up for value in terms of bang for buck? Anything better in that 
form factor?
