A Fantastic Server!
Review of HP ProLiant DL380 G5 Base - Dual-Core Xeon 5160 3 GHz by
andycharger
Advantages: Reliable, powerful, robust
Disadvantages: Im yet to find one. Maybe the hidden costs in addtional items.
...this way and using the HP Raid utility during setup (which is included) you can literally configure your drives to behave in any way possible. Whether its the redundancy of Raid 5 you want or the mirroring ability of Raid 1, this does it all.
PERFORMANCE
Out of this world. It is so stable and so quick to start up. Its like lightning. We use our server to offer additional protection to our virtualised servers. This means we have 3 or 4 software ... ...under warranty with HP and after calling their help desk it is a recognised problem and a new power supply will be with us tomorrow. I have also ordered a hot spare redundant power supply to slot into the spare power supply slot. This has cost £105 plus the shipping. ...

Primergy |Econel Range
Review of Fujitsu Siemens PRIMERGY Econel 200 - Xeon 2.8 GHz by
macspain
Advantages: small, easily upgraded with standard hardware
Disadvantages: should be dual proc
I have the Econel 50 and unlike some of the more comon server platforms it offers quite a bit in terms of upgrade-ability. It is a little tight in there if you're adding more drives (3.5 &* 5.25) so I recommend keeping your cable management tight.
It's a reliable build on the Intel Chipset and I've yet to see a BSOD! The Motherboard build is of expected server high quality and there is no sign of popping electrolytic capacitors around the CPU; there ... ...(snug exhaust fit) over the large CPU heatsink.
The installation tools that come on the setup CDs provide a pre-installation environment based upon a flavor of Linux and allows you to install Win 2K up to 2K3 Enterprise.
Ideal for a budget server, not designed to be mission critical, would be great as a DUAL CPU or DUAL core as struggles a bit under serious load ...

Hp Touchsmart IQ772.uk
Review of HP TouchSmart IQ772.uk - Turion 64 X2 TL-58 1.9 GHz - 19" TFT by
Deagon
Advantages: Very Sleek, Full Of Extras And No Unsightly Wiring Everywhere
Disadvantages: Inefficient Cooling Due To Sleek Case, Possible unreliability Due To High Operating Temperatures
...although i must admit that hp were kind enough to replace its hard disk drive twice in less than a month. 5 stars for that HP! but really in my own personal opinion this machine is heavily overpriced considering its performance. although it does look nice its comes with windows vista home premium installed which makes light work of this pc's lack of resources. and not forgetting the temperature issue, i have at this very moment checked the temperates ... ...load, (ie, only running mozilla firefox and zonealarm security suite and windows obviously)
This pc will sit quite comfortably at a CPU temperature of 64*c and a GPU temp 54*c. personally i wouldn't expect to see this high of temperature unless this machine had been heavily overclocked, but at stock speeds this is crazy.
But there is a good side to my review...
I must admit that this pc comes packed to the teeth with loads of extras. for one this ...

Super Speed
Review of Dell Dimension 9200 - Core 2 Quad Q6600 2.4 GHz - 22" TFT by
Gemma94
Advantages: Very Fast On Internet, Great Graphics
Disadvantages: Abit Noisy
Well.. I love this computer, ive had it for about 6 months now and its fantastic! I dont know about all the technical stuff, sorry!
To start with, it comes with windows vista home premium which is fantastic and very easy to use. Its also fabulous graphics! It goes very fast on the internet which is great, but it takes a while to start up. If you are looking to buy a new computer because you have an old one, this wont seem slow to start up to you, ... ...I generally just put mine on sleep mode overnight and whenever im not on it, its silent just like it is turned off and takes 2 seconds to start up.
It has a very big memory, i have endless songs and photos saved on it with no problem with space at all. If you are new to computers, this would be great for you because it is so easy to use and understand.
Sometimes it is abit noisy when it is turned on but i solved this by squishing a thick book ontop ...
