I've been browsing the forums for a while and O know there are so many different combinations of hardware and installs, but is there one particular system that is guaranteed to work? I know there are companies that supply open computers for installs of OSX86, but I wondered if anyone in here could give a spec list.

 

Basically I run music workshops and I have 8 iMacs (new ones) and 4 MacBooks and a shedload of data to manage and I was toying with the idea of buying an xserve to manage data, but it's just too expensive. Companies like Aria have got intel based machines for just over £100 now, so what I was thinking was buying something for under £200, putting one dedicated system drive and 3x1TB drives in there, because at the moment I've got 5 external drives that are hanging off 2 machines as shares on the network and I want to consolidate this into 1 machine.

 

Any advice would be great, many thanks!
