Re: New PC Build (slightly OT)

["Simon Coates" <ecolume@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Mike,

 

I was considering building a server a couple of months ago - but then I found Midland Computers.  They resell Dell returns and factory excess stock  I got a rack-mount server built to my spec with Win 2000 server cheaper than I could buy all the parts.

Dell Poweredge 2550 PIII 933, 256 Mb, 3 x 36Gb 10K SCSI HDD, RAID 5 controller, redundant power supplies, CD/FDD, 2 x 10/100 LAN, 1 gig LAN, Win 2000 Server, 5 CAL - £2490

 

Web site www.serversource.co.uk

 

Also got APC 3000VA rackmount UPS for £595 !!! :o)

 

Regards

 

 

Simon

Subject: [ukha_d] New PC Build (slightly OT)

I’m thinking of building a couple of new PC’s for home

One as my main Machine running XP

The other running 2000 pro as a webserver/terminal server/ ACE/Homevision etc

 

But before I jump any comments

I’m looking at scan (Haven’t spoken to anyone yet)

Abit KT7-A-RAID Socket A KT-133A without Audio

1.4GHz (266fsb) AMD Athlon SoA CPU

512Mb SDRAM PC-133 (64x4)

41.2Gb IBM Deskstar 60GXP ATA-100 (8.5ms 2MB Cache 7200rpm)

+ assorted goodies

Must have 1 ISA slots for my serial extender card

 

Any comments on cases and PSU

The scan one for £35 seems cheap wats the catch ?

They also have an aluminium one for £169 so I’m a bit confused

 

or can someone recommend a good newsgroup for PC builds etc

 

Thanks

 

Mike
