Hey everyone, I'm getting around to replacing one of my older servers. I had a peek around the dell website, and came up with this:
http://www.dell.com/us/en/business/s...10&s=bsd&cs=04
Pick the option on the right, and then change the options to the lowest processor with HT and Turbo, 8GB ram (4 x 2gb) and minimum everything else (HDD, software, etc). Total cost: $575 with coupon
Up until now I've built all of my servers, but after seeing that I could get a computer which is 80% the power of my most powerful computer for half the price. Does anyone with experience with dell/hp/manufactured servers have an opinion on this?
I was thinking of installing VMWare ESXi 4.0 on this, and have 8 VMs each running one instance of MT4.
