I think the thing with buying something like the dells as opposed to no-name
boxes, is that it is a known quantity - of course you may happen to get a
cheaper "unbranded" machine that is as good/ better - but this is a greater
risk...

:> Get as much RAM as you can, it's the life saver of a CF
:> Server (256 isn't
:> really enough for a heavily hit server)
:> HDs are good if fast, but (as said before) if you're using
:> Trusted Cache,
:> then it won't be hit (apart from the logs)
:> SCSI HDs are better because the controller (usually) isn't
:> on the mother
:> board, so it's taking the stress rather than the processor
:> Casings (Rack, Desktop or Tower) depends on how your ISP prefers the
:> hardware
:> You can Mirror any drives you want, but the same spec of
:> drive is preferred
:> Processors, get the Clone with dual 800 rather than dual
:> 1Ghz, it's not
:> worth the money
:>
:> On another point, get 2nd NICs into both the SQL machine and
:> the new machine
:> and run them through their own hub to talk to each other -
:> the traffic
:> difference will improve the data through-put when reading
:> (before cache) and
:> writing
