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
