HP Workstation xw8400 - Dual-Core Xeon 5150 2.66 GHz

Advantages: Lots of resource, processor power and expansion
Disadvantages: Price and extras needed.

.... Inside the Box you can expand the RAM up to 4Gb thanks to the expansion slots and there are 2 slots available for dual Core Xeon processors. Normally they ship with one and I will mention prices for additional processors later. On the front of the server, there is a great LED display that gives a simple and effective method of telling shat is plugged in, working or faulty on the server. Handy for diagnosing hardware issues. Alson on this panel are 2 handy placed USB connectors so you can "front access" devices such as mice and keyboards when setting it up before loading into a server rack. Weight of it is HEAVY. It takes 2 of you to load and lift this into the rack and it comes with the bolts to attach it to the front of the rack but not the sliding mounts.

Advantages: very fast, reliable
Disadvantages: pricey, need to have IT knowledge

...This dual 2GHZ core processor with combined speed of 4Ghz and a 4Mb Cache makes a very fast pc and will cope easily with many demanding programs running at once. There are probably better deals for the same or better processors, but you are paying for the quality, many dont have a high 4Mb cache. This would be most recommend for IT technicians or people who know what they are doing. The main let down of this is the variation in the price, while this may be good, you dont want to be paying too much when you can get a compute just as good for the same high price or cheaper.
