I'm not sure if I'd know how to work one of them Sun machines. I'd rather have a bunch of lesser-spec servers working together as a redundant cluster so there's no single point of failure.

You don't pay $1m and get something that'll die easily.
For that you get a $99/month server, of course.

If you can afford one of those, you aren't going to be using CPanel, you'll be using your own proprietary software

Those are pretty darn nice, but I think if we are talking realistically here, my ideal server would be a Dell 1650 or 2650 totally maxed out with ram and raid5 drives.
Actually, the ideal setup would be to have a load balancer between two of the above machines and have them be mirrored. That would be nice.
