I've been running this:

HP Proliant DL145 G2
http://h18000.www1.hp.com/products/servers/proliantdl145/

Since May 2006, of course I don't have a REALLY fast one. But the
machine supports 1 or 2 processors (single or Dual core) and 32GB of
memory. It is a 1U machine with a PCIe and a PCI-X slot.

Thanks for this information. However the URL you cite says that it can
hold only up to 16GB of RAM (as do the QuickSpecs for that server).

On another note: Are there any pros and cons regarding AMD vs. Intel?
What about the form factor (rack vs. blade vs. tower)? I've built
and administered several servers in the past, but it's the first time
that I'm going for a server of that potential, therefore I'm grateful
for any kind of advice.

But do I understand it correctly that you cannot do anything really
wrong when going for a HP Proliant since they mention Debian support for
those servers?
