(gah, I found back by glasses)

Can't we reuse the RAM from the old servers?
Isn't 48GB a bit too much for rabbit?

About disk for rabbit, 2 x 1TB SAS seems quite big, I presume SAS is
pretty expensive over SATA. We could probably use smaller SAS disks, and
have a bigger SATA one, since most of the disk usage for live systems on
rabbit was for backup of "continuous" builds.
