    Where to buy servers/server parts to build & then colocate (In US)

    Hello,

    Im seriously fed up with eservers.biz & dv2 for the information they are providing me with server setup times (this will be posted in another thread shortly).

    Now Im looking into colocation. I would like to know some wholesalers in North America that offer good rates. We would be buying around 5 servers initially. All dual processor machines and all to go into Colo4dallas (more likely)

    hey somone else posted this same thing i'm not sure which part of the forum but look for it

    it was around ~1week ago so it wont be to hard to find but people recommended a ton of things

    btw.. if i'm not mistaken i do belive it was cabalstudios who started it while he was paying way to much before he mentioned

    so hopefully that will get you started

    Why not lease them all from dell.com? It could be better than putting up allot of money upfront.

    If you give me a shout i can refer you to some relatively reliable hardware places. I get duds from them often enough, but when buying hardware, i kind of expect to get duds unfortunatly (like my last motherboard ). The places we use have quite competitive pricing, and are phone friendly (i absolutly refuse to order any quantity of equipment from some faceless webpage that is typically unprofessional, and the same as every other hardware site, and you never know if your shipment will arrive, if it's even been seen, etc.).

    But if you do want info, please, be sure to tell them i sent you, might get you an extra discount, and it'll let them know that im thinking about them gotta love some of them guys .

    Why not just buy a complete server from Dell, it will cause less headaches and you can get great support for it in case there are issues.
