I just purchased a server from www.geeks.com for
$219.95 plus shipping. This is an Intel
SE7501BR2 mb w/ dual Xeon 2.4 GHz processors, 1 GB memory,
1 - 40 GB IDE drive, 3 - 36 GB SCSI drives, 2 comm ports, 1
LPT port, 10/100 and 1000 Ethernet Ports, dial up modem, 450 watt
P/S.
There is no O/S, keyboard or mouse with the
system. I loaded XP Pro with little problems.
At times I run SO2R RTTY with Writelog and 2 copies of MixW
for 2 band Ecomm work. There is more
than enough power to run these with no apparent lag. Take a
look at some of their other combination
offers.
