Dell PowerEdge PE840

Advantages: Very relaible and excellent after market support
Disadvantages: Price

...This server has been installed in a couple of my clients so far and i have to say that the fact that most of the SBS software comes pre-installed which save around 3 hours straight away. The aftermarket support for all Dells is first rate and they respond very fast should the hardware fail. The only thing can does put some people of is the price and the cost for spares upgradeds as these can be expensive if sourced direct from dell. Another advantage of dells is that they can be tailured to the specific need of each people as the understand that some people require different things from their machines and servers. I would certainly recommend purchasing Dell equipment... Read review

Advantages: Very easy to set up and maintain
Disadvantages: Can't see any

...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).

Advantages: process well and durable.
Disadvantages: Have small features.

...The dell sever is built with flexibility and durability. And the most of all is that you can choose from tower or 5 u rack options with SATA and SAS hard drive. The dell sever comes in a black shiny colour with some few nice features that makes the sever well in processing. The sever has SATA hard drive type and this is a model of its own. I bought this for one reason and that was for my Internet use and I found out that it was a good buy . Well I don't know on how this will look like in terms of price but in my own case, I will say that It is not that good value for money because it cost me a lot. I made a lot of savings before purchasing it but no need for that now because it has been doing well with my Internet services and has served for quite some time without encountering any problem. So I will recommend this to any body... Read review
