RE: [Asterisk-Users] ultra-cheap asterisk box
That's really good. Can you share the Dell contact info? -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Paul Mahler Sent: Thursday, January 15, 2004 6:54 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Asterisk-Users] ultra-cheap asterisk box I have a Dell 400sc sever on order. It will be shipped on the 27th. It is a 2.4GHz P4 with a 533 MHz front side bus, a 40GB disk, 128MB of memory, sound card, ethernet, and year of on-site next day maintenance. It is $318 delivered after rebates. Yes, $318. This is a real server, by the way, not a desktop machine. It also makes NO noise. I can't hear a thing with my ear right next to it. Why would you even THINK about getting anything else?

(I'm looking at putting Asterisk at some non-profit organizations.) but one thing you can't make a compromise on is reliabilty. It has to work and keep working for years to come. I was able to keep the price of a new PC to about $300 ad still use an ASUS mainboard and an AMD XP2600+ The trick is to add absolutly nothing not needed. No floppy, no CDROM so you can run off a 200W P/S. Next I'll experiment with a notebook sized IDE disk drives and to see if _underclocking_ the CPU reduces it's power comsumption enough that we can save one fan. Ideally Asterisk will be ported one day to Linux/ARM or some other very low cost platform. for VOIP you do not need the PCI slots. In theory Asterisk could run on a Lynksys router box with re-flashed EEPROM. After all Lynksys' latest wireless router runs Linux inside Low cost to me means low total cost of ownership To get this I don't think buying the lowest priced parts is the way to go. I want quality mainboard, and a quality power supply and, this is importernt: A low internal case temperature. for this reason I'll spend the extra $50 to go with Antec cases and ASUS mainboards over the generic ones. What I'm finding is that the PCs are so cheap that the cost of electric power to run them is now a large part of the cost. (assume 0.20/kwh times 200W times 365 days = $350. So you pay for the PC again every year in electric power to run it. Worse. In an office with airconditioning _all_ of that PC's 200W goes to heat and your A/C unit will use about 220W of power to remove that 200W of heat.) and at a small office they will not have a server room so noise from the fan is an issue. --- Roy Sigurd Karlsbakk [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: hi all what about this...
