We
have an account with CDW, and buy most of our SW from them. I haven't used
them for servers, printers, or network gear. I buy Compaq servers from
SARCOM (good reseller, good price & delivery). I don't believe in
saving money on servers and sacrificing support. I like Compaq's
support. Ditto HP.
If
you'd like a contact for an excellent CSR with SARCOM, contact me
offline.
Another reseller with very competitive pricing is
Insight. Haven't bought any servers from them (yet), but their prices seem
to be very good. Check out http://www.insight.com

Subject: RE: CDWJust post it. I too used a whitebox for my last server, from www.utron.com. No stupid !xxxxx.cfg files. Not much support either though.List Charter and FAQ at:-----Original Message-----

Subject: RE: CDWThere are a lot better faster and cheaper servers around that don't have a name brand. We used to shop around until we found a dealer that did white boxes. These are genuine Intel Boxes that cost a hell of a lot less. My last server we got 2 weeks ago was a 4U box with quad Xeon 700's with an external DPT array holding 7 36GB harddrives and 4 Gigs of memory. It is a beast of a box that cost us around 16K. I know for a fact I could get the same specs for the Compaq you ordered for around 6-7k easy. If anyone wants a contact please feel free to email me.List Charter and FAQ at:-----Original Message-----

Subject: OT: CDWSorry for the OT post, but I'd like hear the general consensus about CDW. Are they fairly priced? Adequate customer service? Prompt shipments? etc. etc.....What's everyone's experiences with them? I've never purchased from CDW before but a recent quote on a new exchange server is the best I've seen yet.Regards,Sean Martin, MCSE
