RE: Compaq Proliant Server help

["Brian G. Reynolds" <brian.g.reynolds@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

We use a 3000 for our ghost server at work, old bit of kit but reliable.

I was using a 2500 at home and still have it sitting here doing nothing.
Also very reliable.

Spares are still available for these older machines.

I build loads and loads of Compaq servers and find them an absolute
dream.... that was until HP came along...

I am afraid I find the HP quality control non-existent. Sorry HP but you
really do need to sort this out.

I still love them.

Have a look on the HP website lots of information including parts
catalogues, very good.

Hey all,

In the process of considering a proliant 3000 as the basic system for
most of my SOHO networking (including all my HA stuff).

But, i've never had any experience of these - are they upgradable
etc?  I plan to use several for different things (as the ones on ebay
have such small processors).  One as a file server one to host the
intranet etc.

Any help or advice appreciated.  Can you just 'add' processor cards
for example?

TIA,

Matt

P.S

Away over the weekend so if I don't reply its proabably because i'll
be at Disneyland Paris! (hiding big cheesy grin!)
