Any compatibility issues? If not, I might stock up on them.
Wow - that *is* a great price. I don't have any of this particular box in production, but I do have 2 PowerEdge SC440s (one step up from the T105) running asterisk along with Sangoma PRI cards. They're working great. I really only have two issues with these low-end servers: 1. You can't order 'em with RAID support. I'm getting around this by using software RAID1 in linux, but I'd much prefer having a hardware RAID controller. 2. The Dell DRAC remote management cards aren't compatible with these low-end server motherboards. I've become *completely* addicted to the DRAC cards on the high-end PowerEdges, to the point that I now refuse to order a server without a DRAC card. That said, I'm sure this server would run a small/medium asterisk install just fine. -Erik _______________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
