Additionally other hardware options may also depend on any SLA you have with a customer you are providing (i.e what level of uptime are they expecting etc). Personally if the most important factor is that the server is cheap, I'd go with an entry level HP server with 3 years warranty as suggested in my earlier post, although as I say, you 'get what you pay for' in terms of no proper hardware RAID, non-swappable SATA drives, no redundant PSU etc. Chris
