Question before buying PE1950&MD1000

[Cesar Vergara (MMP)]

Hi:

I'm from far Peru and i have this question:

I have 3 PE2950 running database & FileServer (but under w2k3)

Now i want to make an small SAN & Virtualization these way:

Buying:
- 2 PE1950 2xXeonQuad5405-2Ghz-32GB-NoHD-IntelPT1000,DualPortNIC
- 1 PE2950 1xXeonQuad5405-2Ghz-4GB-2x160SATA-RAID1-IntelPt1000,DualPortNIC,
conected to
- 1 MD1000 7x750GB-SATA-RAID5

I want to :
- install SLES10SP1 on PE2950 RAID1 discs, 
- PXE-Boot the PE1950's SLES10SP1 from the PE2950. 
- activate the iSCSI Target for the MD1000 discs on the PE2950 and the iSCSI
Initiators from the PE1950, 
- use VMWARE VMServer 1.0.4 (2.0 is still crude) on the PE1950,
virtualizaing some SLES (with iSCSI Init) & W2K3 (With MS-iSCSI Init)

It's posible or factible or i just go with an MD3000i or an PE6950 with all
the ram and all the discs and do virtualization on it?
