Re: [e-users] Continuing... Anonymous CVS Servers - YOU CAN HELP!
The issue isn't a powerhouse server, it's upload bandwidth. It can have a 5 THz processor, and 1TB of RAM, it can run CVS all it wants but if it only has dialup then it's kinda dumb.

Standard next business day on site warranty support (nothing special) = $4272 I hate to throw a spanner in the works here, but on the other hand ... One of my friends is winding up his software business and selling off assets. One asset of particular interest is a Dell server that might be just what you're after. It's been strictly a test box, and while it's probably been turned on 24/7 for the past 2 years or so, it has had *NO* load at all ... if that makes any difference. He's asking $1,000 ( Australian ). I'll let others comment on the value / relative performance. If you're after something new / faster, then fair enough - thought I'd let people know in case it looks attractive ( which I suppose will depend on how much money is raised ).

This is the stock setup, you can tweak it on this link (swap the DVD for a cdrom...): http://tinyurl.com/dezfv From this page, scroll down to the 'price point' box and select 'around $3000' The box above is just under $3000 PowerEdge 1850 (2u): 3Ghz Xeon 2MB L2 Cache x 2, 2GB 400Mhz DDR RAM, SCSI Raid Controller, 2x146GB SCSI 1rpm Drives, 24x speed CDROM.

I personally would take the first option - cheaper, likely overall the same spee (depends what u are doing though). ie faster memory bus, but less l2 cache, but a tiny bit more ghz. 7200v1rpm - etc. anyway - do other peolp eant to investigate options elsewhere? NB: to people offering i have a raid controller you can use or i may have a spare cpu - that's great - thanks, but really impractical. Agreed.
