To answer the question posed above, both the 4500S and the 8200 were bought from the SMALL BUSINESS section. I was kind of amazed to have a home accessories certificate. I just got another 4500 (not the S) and it had a different flyer with no coupon.
On the HD comment, since I want to to IDE RAID for two servers, it is impossible to use 2 drives for 2 servers in Raid unless I spend $100K or so for some fiber clustering action, and that kind of defeats the purpose. WIth the cache on the RAID card I think it will balance out the purchase.
BTW - if anyone wants me to scan in my "flyer" LMK - but the codes ARE USED on mine (PM me as I do no have a place to store it where others can see it) - As I described, it is easy to pass it by and pitch it as I normally do. Hehe, now in my house we have 6 Dell's for less than $2K All P4 1.6 GHZ + and now a new network printer and 2 Raid 1 arrays
Why are you all ordering the 4500S? I think the 4500 is a much better value it's a few bucks more (if you got it on the SB $100 MIR and $50 coupon deal) ... plus the 4500's case offers A LOT more expansion possibilities.
sorry to dissapoint you... but apparently the barracuda iv's are really $hitty in raid. i've seen a couple posts about it... seagate claims their internal speed is too fast or some crap?? you may want to do some searching.

where the heck are these codes??? i get dell advertisements and booklets every month w/ no codes...and i just bought a lappie from them. don't they want me to spend more moola??? are they located on the backs of these books? in fine print?? must dig through recycling bin
tphong: ON your RAID comment, I agree that SCSI ROCKS, but IDE is about 1/4th the price - it does have lower performance, but I saive 75% or so, and get the reliability, and more speed than 100BT can carry anyways so what the hey?
