Hi Tobin,
That looks like a good entry level server. My only suggestion would be to have redundant power supplies (looks like it only supports 1). If you can't configure it with redundant power supplies, at least order a spare power supply to have on hand if needed. Or maybe you have better logistics than we have in Haiti. It will be best if you can do hardware RAID rather than software RAID. You would need a RAID controller (which is probably included with anything sold as a server). Do you have a means of data backup? If not, you should order that with the server too.

After importing from the current system, we will have about 8,000 patients with 6 clinicians working simultaneously. At the beginning we won't be collecting a tremendous amount of data or doing anything fancy. We've been considering this model: Model: HP 658553-001 ProLiant N40L Ultra Micro Tower Server Processor: AMD Turion II Neo 1.5GHz 2 cores RAM: 8GB Storage: 250GB RAID 1 configuration Here's a link to the server which we'll then plan to upgrade to above by adding RAM and a HD. http://www.amazon.com/HP-658553-001-ProLiant-Server-System/dp/B005KKJPCO There are some rough guidelines on the wiki but thought I'd just see if anybody had thoughts.
