pypy uses /tmp to put its source files so I don't know if 5gb is enough.
is this just a benchmarking server, or a server people can also log into and use as a generic build machine? i always assumed that one socket would be used to benchmarking and the other socket would be given over to normal users who needed a machine with a bit more speed
Why not use both sockets for benchmarking? Either put 2 interpreters on each socket (cpython+jython in one and pypy+ironpython in the other) or use one of the sockets to run the benchmarks on windows/freebsd. I think more granularity in the benchmarks is interesting to find regressions, and the performance of interpreters in different oses might be very different also (ironpython running on .net, different jvm etc).
Besides this two points I think everything looks ok to me (but I don't know much about sysadmin). Some people have a lot of scary stories about RAID5, but I think this is mostly a problem with old RAID controllers.
