    Where does one build their racks?

    Hi folks,

    I'm curious, where do you have your 1U systems and so on built?
    Having a tower or mini-tower built, is very simple and really needs no explaining - although where do yo have your 1U systems built?

    The only company I know of who builds them are Dell, and also Apple if you want to have Apple OS X as your operating system.

    But does anyone else know of any other good places to have a good quality 1U system built, and not too pricely? (Really, no more than Dell charges)

    Thanks

    Supermicro is very common name here. Check it out, thier pretty good machines. Gateway builds rackmount servers as well(never would buy one).

    Thanks Lippy for your suggestion.

    I was also checking out HP and they also build servers, don't seem to be as good as Dell's. I'm checking out Supermicro now.

    Any more suggestions are much appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Dell, HP/Compaq and SuperMicro are the big names in the business. HP/Compaq Servers are every bit as good as Dell. Most other servers are homebrew/built from parts by the company selling them...

    I don't have to look for trouble. It seems to know pretty much all the time where I am.
