The main box would be an AS400 Server 9406-270 with 2063 and 1502. </snip> Dave. That box would work very well for the intent you have, although I wouldgowith 4 drives, with a minium size of 17gig each. 17s are on the used market now for about $750. Any smaller drive and you would beconstrainedto only V5R3, no OS past that will run on smaller drives. The 10Gb of Memory will help with the new OS's and the functions you wish toperform.Consider having dual ethernet adapters to provide failover and load balance since there may be quite a bit of traffic, depending on the messages you monitor. Having said all that, you should wait a week or two and see what may develop. A new smaller i5 may be a more economical approach with apieceof equipment that will not get obsoleted quite so quickly.
