X206 Entry level/Home server
Review of IBM eServer xSeries 206 8482 - C 2.4 GHz by goosey2

Advantages: Very low cost
Disadvantages: No potential

...of the coin, if you are just starting up a new business, need somewhere to store your newly created spreadsheets and powerpoint documents and cost is an issue, where better than £500 worth of IBM server in the corner of your garage? It's always going to beat the £300 super clone server your mate can build you because he'll probably be on holiday in Benidorm when it all falls over just before tomorrows big meeting. IBM on the other hand won't be. Sorry if your new business is building super clone servers for new businesses but that's just how I see it. Oh and for an extra £150 take a look at the HP ML150G2 as it has a Xeon processor or if you can stretch to an extra £1000 buy a mirrored IBM X226 (See my X226 review)... Read review

Great entry level / terminal server
Review of IBM eServer xSeries 226 8488 - Xeon 3 GHz by goosey2

Advantages: good build quality - rarely break down - It's an IBM!
Disadvantages: support website can sometimes be awkward to navigate.

...that once the initial information has been entered it's pretty much an automated process. Once your up and running you can install the included IBM Director software (it is included with all the servers I have ever bought but I don't see it on the kit list so might be wise to check, although even if it isn't you can download it from the IBM website. The easiest way to find it is search the IBM website or Google for e1cd1.iso. You should also download the serveraid windows agent as well ) which monitors the state of all your hardware and can be configured to send E-Mail or pager alerts in the event of warnings errors or security breaches. As a terminal server it should be good to go for up to 15 users (maybe 20 with plenty of RAM and if only using office docs) but I would probably go for an X236 if you want to do much more than that or have...
