I was browsing ebay and came upon a supermicro server and I decided to buy it. It seems like a pretty good deal.

Here is the text from the ebay ad:


This Supermicro Server is loaded with 2 x Pentium 1GHZ, 2 GIG of RAM, 1 36GIG 10000rpms HD, Built in Raid. The unit is in perfect working conditions...This server is identical to the compaq DL360.... Supports up to 4GB ECC registered DIMM.... 1 x 65-bit, 66/33MHz PCI slot.... Adaptec AIC-7899 Dual Channel Ultra 160 SCSI on board... 2 x Intel 82559 Ethernet controllers on board... Ati Rage XL VGA on-board with 8MB display memory .... 2 x 1" SCA U/160 hot-swap drive bays... 1 x Floppy Drive... 1 x slim CD-ROM drive... 250W Power Supply... 1 x 10cm blower fan....


I paid $1350, shipping included. Is that about right?

Thats a good price...

Whew! I'm glad to hear that.

Do you know anywhere that I can find a price list for these servers? Supermicro.com doesn't show any prices.

Another thing....affordablecolo.com tells me that they need to have a server that supports telco-style mounting.

Do I need to buy any special kinds of mounts for this server or is it already telco-style?

Yes very nice price on it, 2.5k is waht it sells for alot of places.

It is a 19in rack mount, telco cabinets are 23in if I am not mistaken, affordable colo should provide brackets for this since most colo places I know are all 19in and so is the equipment. I could be wrong, ask them to find out for sure.

Telco can be either 19" or 23" (or is it 24"), anyway, he shoudl be fine, I'm almost willing to bet that what Affordablecolo means by "telco" is .. no towers, rackmount servers only please :)
