Hey Everyone,

Where's the cheapest place to buy quality 1U servers? I know cheap and quality don't usually mix, but sometimes there are exceptions, right? And what about building your own 1U servers? Is that cheaper then buying them from, say, Dell? Where do you get your parts? Thanks for any help.

1u servers are expensive......

Yes, I'm aware of that. I really like the quality of Dell and I'm prepared to pay $4000+ for 1U servers from them. I'm just wondering who other people use...

IBM E Series

Theres actually quite a few places, dependign what you are looking for.

Dell PowerApps are Good.

Also take a look at.

PogoLinux.COM
MWave.COM
NewEgg.COM
SoftCom.NET

That should keep you busy.
You will probably get a much better price there too.

Goodluck.

:D

Thanks Synergy and RunOfTheMill. I'm liking Pogo Linux a lot. I've heard of them before, but hadn't really considered them.

Any other comments?

We buy always from RackSaver.com. They are amazing and have fabulous quality. They build servers for most institutions in the USA.

Thanks dherman76! Let me also add http://www.penguincomputing.com to the list, just so I don't forget.

My servers are over priced noooooooooooo
