Update: 8-18 PM, only P4 2.4 at this price; add $100 for P4 2.8
How long will it be going on for? Who knows. The original brochure stated that the basic server was on sale Aug 7-20. I only found it as I was cancelling my order for the P4 2.4c made yesterday (8-14) for the same price. But when they essentially gave the 2.8c/800 for $100 less than they were charging yesterday, I signed up again. BTW, this is the i875 chip on the mobo, dual channel, hyperthread, 800 MHz FSB, atDELL small business
And do read the thread (I did.) olliebg's excellent FAQ on configuring this into a workstation. (It's covered in the original link, above, but here it is without having to jump through another thread).
After reading this again, I should mention that you will see a number of these people on the Dell board's Customer Care and click on the Community tab, then go to the discussion on the PowerEdge servers...here is is if this link works:PowerEdge Community discussion and click on the "General Hardware" discussion threads. There are about 5 that are very good and get you started.
It's not as great as the one day P4 3.2c of several weeks ago, but then it's also $130 cheaper than that one, too.
