hi, I did some custom build servers for customers, and with good care of selection, and good documentation they are very happy without paying the extra of big name vendors.
get a small company in your area and let them show you what they have build in the past, and you might find a partner to buy all your server needs with. and of course somebody mentioned before: most cheap cases are crap, amd has better prices for performance, and a well designed machine is easier to service, and my opinion on that is, that I had really troubles getting parts for an old proliant. we actually got the parts of ebay .. for a mission critical p2 .... (don't ask, messy story). so a standard case if you don't mind a few extra units in height is better. just my two cents, and of course, if it isn't my budget, I buy big vendor :) matthias On 01.06.2006, at 11:19, Ariën Huisken wrote: > Hello list, > > I'm planning to build a TSL2.2 server to run several VMware virtual > machines. > When looking for a dual processor system, I'm really confused about > what to use with TSL.
