I have ordered two flextronic 8 port switches and five topspin dual port HCA's. Most of these decisions were a combination of cost limitations (it sits on my coffee table) and careful scrutiny of photos on eBay. Right now I have a great price on an HP SmartArray with controllers. My first concern is that it will require a 1U machine to manage RAID and my next concern is that the controllers will need adapters for the 4x SDR cables which I believe will connect to the TopSpins and Flextronics. Anyone with hands on experience with this '08 gear, please help me out. Jonathan Engwall
