I wish I had not bought the Core 2 Quad - it is a desktop CPU; go with a server CPU Xeon or AMD equivalent) A server class VIP cabinet with 650W SMPS cost is about Rs. 6K/- I use a LaCie external DVDWriter (USB 2.0) that is shared amongst all servers/desktops; cost about Rs. 4K (worth it) (when not in use, I store it in dust proof packing - lost several internal units because of dust) My two cents. -- Arun Khan _______________________________________________ ILUGC Mailing List: http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
