We would like to get the 1U PowerEdge 750 with 3.2 GHz CPU, any one using them. How are they with heat.

Hi,
We are using Dell PowerEdge 750 Server with the following specifications:
Intel Pentium 4 2.8Ghz with HT
1GB DDR ECC Registered RAM
Dual 80GB 7200rpm SATA Hard Drives

So far not problem with thermal. In fact, they are rock solid to us! :)

Thanks.

Are the PowerEdge servers towers or are they 1U/2U Rackmounts?

PE750 is 1U rackmount.

I can't really understand PE750. Similarly configured PE1750 may cost less than PE750 actually .... Or do I get it wrong?

The PE750 and the PE1750 are really apples and oranges. The PE750 is a uniprocessor P4 with a single non redundant power supply, ide/sata, and no hot swap bays. the PE1750 is a dual Xeon capable system, with optional redundant hot swappable power supplies, ultra320 scsi, and hot swap sca drive carriers. Normally (Dells pricing changes multiple times a month), the PE750's start at about 75% that of the PE1750. I do, however, agree that the PE1750 definitely seems like better value.
