Greetings,

I need to buy a 1U server online and have it shipped to a datacenter. Where would you recommend I purchase it from?

Please keep the URLs coming :)

I purchased a great little 1u rack server that I can run either linux or 2000 on from Vitalstream (www.vitalstream.com). They mainly host the servers there, but they are not above shipping one out. They're solid and guarantee their work. Ask for Adam Shanks and tell him that Karyn sent you. I don't know there 800 number off hand (but its on the site), the regular phone is 949-743-2000.

valinux (www.valinux.com) is going out of business I believe but I would imagine you could get some pretty sweet deals - also I've had good experience with good 'ole Dell (www.dell.com). What os are you looking to run?

FreeBSD is the one

Anyway I just found a great custom hardware provider - Qsol.com and will most probably be purchasing my first 1u rackmount from them.

Thanks for the links though, appreciate it. :)
