Since Sun no longer makes cheap X2100 M2 (speaking of which,
anyone aware of anyone selling decent AMD or Intel single
socket quad cores with ECC memory and IPMI?) I've been looking
at SuperMicro 5015A-PHF lately. It's not ECC, not super-powerful,
but with 4 GByte RAM and a decent SSD it could probably host a
few vservers. In terms of Ops/Joule it's probably even better
than Opterons. At a price point of roughly 300 EUR and full
IPMI it's hard to find anything comparable.

Is it reasonable to assume that such a system could run
about 40 mostly idling vserver guests at about 200 MByte 
memory footprint each, and 4 GByte filesystem footprint (on a 80 
GByte Intel 2nd gen consumer SSD, vhashify) each?
