Keeping this suggestion in mind it might be good to ask adrain, coolo, darix, or someone in that area what they could really benefit from right now.
bunch of ram?? This is what we seriously considered already indeed.
Yep, ram makes more sense then a SSD.
SSD are either slow on write (what we do heavily) or they seem not to be reliable enough as far as I heard from other OBS installations tried to use them.
memory will decrease the need of writing data to any disk at all and in best case (small packages) the build can happen entirely in memory.

There is a lot of variety in SSD quality. I hope your comments reflect lower end units, but I don't know. I definitely believe the write-speed of high-end units far exceeds the write speed of rotating disks. I personally haven't put a high-end SSD into a server yet, so I don't know about reliability. fyi: How does RAM for a high-end server compare price wise to high-end SSD for the same server? How about capacity limitations of the servers. Adding SSD, I expect to be easy. Adding 256GB or ram, I don't know about.
