I've been building PC's as far back as I can remember. So seeing that anandtech topic about buying a built PC reminded me that I had to build an SQL Server for work.
I have 6k to build the server. I don't want to build it ground up because it's for work. So I was wondering....
What do you guys recommend? The SQL Server handles many versions of data varying from 1 million records to 15 million records.
Most users at a time would be something like 10. But I think that is max. Lot's of software connecting to it for big jobs.
I would love more than 300gb raid 10 scsi 10k or 15k type performance. But I have it understood that 300gb scsi is still freakin expensive right?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
JP
