You don't say whether you need a rack-mount server or if a tower will be OK.
Rackmounts can be tricky, mostly because of heat issues. I've built a few,
but it's not a bad idea to get someone who'll back up the unit in case you
have problems.
I've had great luck with Asus motherboards and trust t
Just an FYI:
I am running a Compaq Proliant ML350. I love it. VERY stable. I opted not to
go hot-plug. Not that critical and saved a few hundred dollars. My

In actual fact, my worst experience of a server for CF/SQL was using a dell
server (server architechture), though I think that was more to do with it
being vastly underspecced than anything...

Agreed - also if they are "proper" servers, they'll be using server
m/boards, of which there are a limmited number of manufacturers anyway, and
an even smaller no of chipsets, so chances are a lot of the componentary

I don't think the hard disks are that important on the CF server as you

never goes back.
