I wouldn't normally post something like this unless I thought it really was a great deal for someone looking for a mid-ranged desktop.
Dell is selling their low-end server 400SC (basically a desktop) for $373 (after $100 rebate) with a 2.4GHz (800Mhz) processor. It's fairly stripped, no OS, 128MB RAM, 40GB hdd, pci graphics. You could even get a 2.0GHz Celeron for $272 and upgrade later on. Go to dell.com; click on "Small Business"; click on "Servers, Storage & Networking", you'll see an ad for the 400sc. Go through *all* the customize options and make sure you're not buying anything you don't want to. The $100 isn't reflected in the listed price. For some extra info about the 400sc see here: http://www.aaltonen.us/forums/viewtopic.php?t=8 Matt W. PS A couple months ago, dell accidentally sold their 3.2Ghz version of this server for $500; at the time, the processor itself was going for $450. You can find a couple of them going on ebay if you wana spend that kind of money. PSPS Note the late shipping date. ____________________ BYU Unix Users Group http://uug.byu.edu/ ___________________________________________________________________ List Info: http://uug.byu.edu/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/uug-list
