any brandname machine with the right specs will do. a word of warning
though - don't hope to scale the specs, purchase the max set of
hardware you'll need right away - upgrades can be more expensive than
the machine itself.
If you expect to need more than a single server, maybe a beefy machine

Hi Everyone,
This is my new address (was *Josh*@*hadassah*.ac.il).
I searched the archives and only found a few answers to the
same request that I made in 2009.
I would appreciate any updated suggestions.
The server needs a good RAID 5 card and, if possible, a dual
and redundant power supply.

hi!
We don't know what your other requirements are, but are you sure that a
"desktop" machine will be stable enough? If the single second-rate power
supply toasts (and probably fries a disk and the controller with it), can
you afford the >1 week downtime? What about backups?

disks be cheap!
The answer - with your budget - none. Five 1TB disks will cost you
some 2K ILS. A RAID controller will cost another 600-1500 ILS, say 1K.
This is your budget and no desktop yet.

Hi,
I need to setup a Linux Centos Samba file server.
The server should have Raid 1 or 5 with a high storage capability (up to
4 or 8 TB).
The budget is around 3,000 shekels so an HP or IBM machine probably
won't
be relevant.
Last, but not least, the machine should be Linux compatible at l
