RE: [OT] Cheap Business Server for small office.

["Danny Dawson" <dannyd4315@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks guys,

I do not have a clue about servers, can anyone tell me if this server below
is good? All I need is something to store my files on and then access them
from out the office, is this overkill?

Thanks
Danny
