I'm using an HP K420, 2 cpu's, 1 gb RAM (not on Informix yet, but will be in the next few months). If you think you will need extra expansion, look at the HP K4xx series; these chassis have additional backplane slots. In particular, 5 HSC slots as opposed to 1. I can't comment on Sun; I don't have direct experience.
