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. ...

Advantages: Good workhorse server...easy configuration and setup of hardware and software with Top Tools
Disadvantages: Can be harder to configure internally due to lack of space although thats expected!!
...of hardware and software with HP Top Tools software. After youve put your internal components into the server booot from the Top Tools CD and its a breeze to configure your hard drives and then once thats setup move on to the Operating system of your choice and away you go.

Review of Apple iMac Core 2 Duo 2.8 GHz - 24" TFT by

Advantages: speed ,power,Design
Disadvantages: value for money
...were released. As soon as Apple released the updated Mac Pro in January, I picked one up. After using the iMac for so long, the Mac Pro was like a breath of fresh air. This machine is crazy fast. I loaded 10 GB of RAM into it and can pretty much have all my design apps open (mainly CS3) as well as run Parallels at the same time. I could never do this with the iMac. Overall, I'd recommend the Mac Pro to design professionals looking to run lots of ... ...You'll have to deal with the strange rebooting problem I mentioned above but I don't think it's a deal breaker. I've gotten around this by either shutting my machine down when I'm gone for long periods of time or setting the sleep cycle to never. It's not a great solution (I can't save electricity this way) but I think it's worth it for the power of this machine. ...

Introduction
I was walking through some wood on the Scottish Borders one day when we came across a cottage where we saw a Cavalier King Charles sitting on a chair in the sun, and a gentleman working on a computer. We got chatting about the dog (as we also have a Cavalier) and the conversation inevitable turn the his computer which happened to be an iMac 2.4GHz, 24" Core 2 Duo model being used for photography and graphics. The gentleman showed me ... ...me that I should give up my Windows PC and to switch to MAC for my main uses of photo and video. If I was really stuck, I was told that Mac could run any Windows programmes I needed on it.
My main intention was to leave the Windows PC for day to day use, and use the MAC PC for hobbies only - more of that later. However, a few weeks later, after looking at reviews and seeing the machine again, I took the plunge and bought the iMac - a decision I ...
