I would disagree with the "cheap" assessment. I find SuperMicro products to be quite nice. Their servers seem to be high-quality and perform very well for a good price.
I do use HP for critical systems but I have yet to have a SuperMicro box fail. I've got a few SuperMicro boxes which are over 10 years old with all original components (other than hard drives.) They still function perfectly as cheap NAS boxes. -Jeff ________________________________ From: Holstrom, Don [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, September 13, 2010 9:17 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: SuperMicro There are many companies that do so, most of them are out west, but if you look up particular parts, several companies sell them and you can get them overnight. AS for re-selling, check out Craigslist or others. We just had a company overlook our entire computer system here at the Museum and one of the main things they said was that SuperMicro was not the way to go. They called those servers junk. I have 7 SuperMicro servers and I love them. I go back to when Dell became a joke because of their failing support. I keep extra SuperMicro servers around to use to replace servers that may die. But the new company now recommends Dell, they want to replace all our servers. Anyone else agree or disagree?

Would you mind contacting me off list?
