Looks like it must be an Oracle Server X5-8, and those suckers cost so much Oracle won't even give you a price online. The processors alone are probably in the neighborhood of $70-$80,000, and 2TB of memory in 32GB LRDIMMs is another $64,000 list price, so you're already pushing $150,000 before you even start installing all that in the chassis.
