Suggestions for server hardware sub 800 dollars

2005-10-21 Thread Ben Siemon
I need to make a server box that will serve web pages ( light ), do
light file storage for my home network and allow me ssh access when I
am away from the apartment. I have read a great deal about this on the
site and looked at the manufactures sites. I see a great deal of
potential there but I have more fun building it up myself. I would be
glad for any suggestions any of you have.

eBay.com

Most PC hardware there should work.

I used an e-machines PC (Celeron 2.9ghz, 512mb and an 80gb disk, dvd,
cd-burner, sound, network) - it was really hard to argue with a $350
price tag.

I've found that if it's not really all that heavy a load, machines at 
Dell that regularly come up are worth it.
The latest one that I saw in a Dell flyer (in Canada), was a Celeron 
2.9, 512MB, 80 or 60GB, etc, etc for $349 CAD.

Can beat it, in many ways!

If you want to build it yourself, then maybe you can build yourself a 
little mini-ATX machine, one that's small and out of the way?


Cheers,
Matt

Speaking of Dell... I know that I have seen some pretty nifty 1u rack  
servers for as little as $450.

You don't to build it, but not a bad deal IMHO.

Nevermind.  Must have been a promotion.  I was referring to the Dell  
PowerEdge 850.  I see now that it's priced at $999.


My bad.
