I am searching for cheap server.

where can I buy the cheapest XP, Duron or PIII (non ebay.com-) server? :)

thanks :cartman:

For a quality machine that will mount well in the rack, try www.online-spectrum.com

It's fair to say that I've got a little experience with rackmounts, and these are the best bang for the buck. You can get a cheap 1U case that is just that -- cheap. It will cause you problems.

These onl-spec servers have firm mounts, thumbscrews, etc.

online-spectrum is cheap, but only for the low end servers ... Try to configure a server with 4GB of memory, SCSI, Dual CPUs, etc and you will see you can save around $1500-$2000 than if you build the server yourself ...

But other than that, yes online-spectrum is really affordable for low-end server. Another option is interpromicro.com

cheers,

QSOL.com is a player too, but I've never used them. I'm sure some folks here have and might want to comment.

cool.

which server did you see there that you like? can you provide a link to it?

That one (http://www.interpromicro.com:80/commerce/product.jsp?product_i) for $797.90 with
[list=a]
- Abit mainboard
- AMD XP 1.7
- 256 MB DDR RAM
- 40 GB HD
- 1U Rackmount 250W
[/list=a]

that's a good price, isn´t it?

TigerDirect.com has a couple, although, I don't know if they're any good.
