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. ...

Comapq d530 USDT
Review of HP Compaq Business Desktop d530 Ultra-Slim - P4 2.66 GHz by
judson
Advantages: Slim, Optional Stand, Fast
Disadvantages: Only 1 PCI Slot
In all the Compaq d530 USDT is a lovely machine to work on and to support, its slim design limits the amount of deskspace required and also the option of standing it up like a bookend is also another very appealing feature. The machine in general comes with a very fast Pentium 4 2.4ghz dual processor, 256 MB Ram (min) and at least a 40gb hard drive, so there is alot of nice components inside. The only thing that this type of compaq lacks is additional ... ...all so if you wanted to add anyting more then 1 extra component then you would be stuffed.
We use alot of comapq machines and in terms of use in an office this is more then adequate to run all your normal programs and operating system, there is the option of upgrading or adding further memory if required, but so far i have not felt the need as the machine runs perfectly. ...

Brilliant BRIO
Review of HP Brio BA410 - PIII 800 MHz by
Twigsby
Advantages: Cheap, fast, stable, AGP slot
Disadvantages: Limited upgrade potential
...* Scroll mouse * HP recovery CD, Drivers CD
* 3 year warranty – First year next business day onsite
There are plenty of variants that can be selected e.g. with or without Word, Celeron or PIII processors, with or without modem or LAN card etc etc.
I think the price is a bargain. For this kind of specification, I simply could not find a better priced PC. The nearest rival would be either some of the Fujitsu lines or the Maxdata - but these ... ...very nice touch is the HP system recovery CD. This allows you to restore the whole system to its original "out of the box" state in something like 30 minutes (remember to back up your data first) which will be a godsend for those of us in a habit of overloading their systems to the point that a fresh install is required.
The initial set up also has an HP diagnostic partition which is accessible on boot up. Again a nice touch, but of more limited ...
