I have already contacted Sun/France but gotten no answer yet.

I know, but 64 GByte costs environement 8.000 to 14.000 Euro

Right, but my customer want it as compact as possible.
Installing a 5U Rack with Quad-CPU/Dual-Core plus 16 WD-Raptor 74 GB
and two drive bays of 16 HDD's each is acceptable but with multiple
machines I wil exceed the space availlable.

I personaly run a 3Ware 9500 with 16 WD-Raptor 74 GByte already, and
it is nice that you can put up to 4 Controllers into a Computer.

And there is a small export problem using Sun/IBM/HP...

Thanks, Greetings and nice Day
