Hi,

I need to buy a server for my company and then send it to co location. I want advice from you guys on where to buy a server, how much it will cost and what I should put in to it.

We use a lot of RAM since our site is all written in C/C++/Perl and uses MySQL extensively (its a webgame). We also need the proccessor power, preferably 2 CPU's and if not, a motherboard with one. I dont know about brand names for each one. 2U case. Thats all I can tell for prerequisites that I can remember at the moment.

I have looked at PenguinComputing.com but it is quite expensive. I dont have a very big budget, but I do need quality. I know I am contradicting myself by asking for quality for not a lot of money, but I guess you understand.

Thanks,
Itay

Try http://www.racksaver.com, some recommend also DELL servers...

Racksaver has the best offer yet, with a 2U server with 2CPU's (Intel PIII at 850mhz) with 1GB of ram at 2770$, but that is a helluva lot of cash =)

I am downgrading my request to a 1U I guess =)

2U's are expensive

If you can wait a few hours I will post my server companies list, I don't have it at hand now.

Also, if you use colocation you will pay for the space, so usually 1U is cheaper per month than 2U.

Build it yourself....wayy cheaper.

Ok, here we go - hope it helps a bit...
