I am looking to
purchase a cheap entry level server. I plan to use it as a webserver to host 2
postnuke sites and another download site which will get about 1000 gig per month
downloaded from it. Price and expandibility are very important. Below I mention
a few that I have been looking at. Are there any places around calgary where you
can get cheap servers? What do you think of the ones I mentioned below? Are they
overkill or not enough? This is my first time around with something like this so
any opinions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
So far the only
place I've found cheap servers is dell. I've been looking at the
dells.
The one
I especially had my eye on was the
PowerEdge
SC1420
---------------------------
Intel® Xeon™ 2.80 GHz (another
processesor can be added later on)
2 40 gig sata drives (i'm going to use
software raid 1)
512MB, 400MHz, 2X256MB, SINGLE RANK
Onboard nic
I liked this one
(the sc1420,above) because later on I was thinking I might need to drop another
processor in there for more power. But it costs a few hundred buck more.
And another option I
was looking at was the
PowerEdge SC420
------------------------------------------
Intel® Pentium® 4 2.80 GHz
2
40 gig sata drives (i'm going to use software raid 1)
512MB, 400MHz, 2X256MB, SINGLE RANK
Onboard nic
