I can highly recomend the dell poweredge servers, extremly stable...
Have had problems running cfserver / IIS on a workstation - our secondary
development box used for CF4.01 was designed as a workstation, and although
not recieving particularly high loads, needs rebooting frequently...

:> I need a new server... and had a couple of questions..
:>
:> 1. What is the difference between a "server" and "tower"?
:> 2. How important is it to use SCSI drives vs. the new
:> ATA/100 drives, which
:> are much cheaper?
:>
:> It comes down to choices.. I could go for:
:> dell poweredge server with dual 800mhz pentium III with
:> dual 18gig SCSI
:> drives and 256 megs ram
:> or
:> a "clone" - tower case, high quality power supply, dual
:> 1,000mhz pentium
:> III with dual 40 gig ATA/100 drives and 512 megs ram.
:>
:> Is the "server" designation and scsi drives worth getting
:> lower ram and
:> processor speed?
:>
:>
:> I will use it for cold fusion / web server and also real
:> video server.
:> I will be using Windows 2000 server - I assume that you can
:> mirror ATA/100
:> drives with windows 2000? No?
:> Nothing really mission critical on the server.
:> I will be using the old web server as a SQL server. (dell
:> poweredge dual
:> 600mhz / 256 megs ram / dual 9 gig scsi drives) and
:> retiring the current
:> sql server (Dell poweredge single 300mhz, 128 megs ram:)
