[SAC] Server quote/discussions

[Tyler Mitchell (OSGeo)]

I've reworked another quote, matching more closely the original quote,
but with more RAM and disk.  Our approved budget is $22k, so I'll assume
2 machines at ~10k each.  More comments/concerns?  I can scale back the
RAM and disk to line closer to the earlier quote if desired.

Missing anything?
