[ubuntu-uk] Server Suppliers

2009-07-07 Thread Tim Dobson
Hi Guys,

Company hat on today, apologies ;)

I'm looking for reccomendations for a supplier of cheap, reliable basic
spec tower servers of about:

2x 2.6 GHZ CPU
2GB RAM
250GB Sata Hard Disk Disk
CD/DVD Sata Disk drive 
No OS, display, keyboard, mouse etc...
No manufacturer warranty required

and:

2x 2.6 GHZ CPU
2GB RAM
2x 250GB Sata Hard Disk Disk
RAID Controller
CD/DVD Sata Disk drive 
No OS, display, keyboard, mouse etc...
No manufacturer warranty required

We would like professional looking cases etc as these servers will be on
client sites powering their phone system with our Asterisk-based VOIP
system on them.

Dell who have supplied us servers prviously have discontinued their
Poweredge SC440 range and now want to give us a much worse deal for servers
to supply to our customers.

Any suggestions would really be welcome - I'm sure we can get a better
deal!

Cheers

Tim

Also check out http://nakedcomputers.org for lots of suppliers of 
computers of all kinds without operating systems.

I have had good experience with Novatech in the past for Naked laptops 
and I know they do sell server systems too.

 Hi Guys,

http://www.serversdirect.co.uk/ are pretty good on price:

HP ProLiant ML110 G5
Intel Dual-Core Xeon 3065 / 2.33 GHz
1 GB RAM / 8 GB (max)
1 x 160 GB - standard - Serial ATA-300 - 7200 rpm
Limited warranty - parts and labour - 1 year

£199.97 ex. vat.

Crappy embedded RAID rubbish built in, but I guess you could disable it and
set the controller to direct access.
