Full review
Power Edge is main line of Dell servers. 2950 is most universal base server from that line. If you are not sure what spec should your server have, just order it with one dual core CPU (1333MHz bus, not 1066; makes big difference), RAID5, three HDDs and 2GB of RAM (in two sticks preferably), two power supplies (it's server, reliability is it's second name).
You may find, that it's actually all you need. If not, thanks to superb case and internal build you can easilly upgrade its spec. It has two CPU slots, eight DDR2 banks, can take up to six SATAII or 8 SAS drives. It can also take any two PCI or PCI Express cards (depends which standard riser you ordered).
It come with minimum 3 years next business day onsite response warranty but it can be upgraded (althow it cost a lot more). From personal experience I have to say that Dell server support is very good.
Shipped with rack rails, Dell 'Systems Management Console' and 'Service and Diagnostic Utilities' (very handy).
