Ill have my Magny-Cours 12 core ES up at the end of this month. The company I work for is giving us a single server spot for free. Its a 2U spot in our data center with a IPv4 block /29 with 100mb drop and an IPMI drop. Im waiting for my Supermicro 2U case to be shipped here. Its the one Movieman reviewed with 6 hotswap SATA/SAS drives slots. The ES has no multi lock and I tested it running at 3.6gig on all 12 cores at full load.
