How about the A5191A. It is described as a HP 9000 L2000 Enterprise Server Solution

A5191A - 30 November 2006 is what I see for the minimum support date. It may still be possible to get support after this date, however, but that can depend on local situation capability as well as parts availability. If you look at performance and lower cost of ownership of a new system, it may be more economical to replace a unit like the L2000, even before this date. Just something to consider.

Okay, so now it appears that my A3639 server is "desupported" as of March, 2006. Perhaps my fault, but kind of a punch in the face. Does this mean that HP will not allow a "support agreement" to be entered into for this machine after that date?

[Don Bentz]

Whoops, upon closer inspection, "my" drop off the edge of the world date is July 2007. My "Part number" is A3639BR. Have I understood Cheryl's last (Sept 2004) note in this regard?

[Ted Buis]

Already the N-class cost of HW support is much greater than a new system that has more performance. Very likely before it goes end of support, you would be able to replace it functionally for about the cost of the annual service contract.
