[RadioactiveMagpies]

tempting, selling both the hardrives away for $200-250(list $400 on pricewatch and $300 on ebay) each will make it a deal of the year candidate.

 

[BurnItDwn]

Well ... I gave in to the 600SC ...

486 bucks shipped - 100 mail in rebate

1.8ghz celeron
dual 120GB drives

 

[Garet Jax]

Very good deal! Too bad I don't have any extra money to put into computer stuff :frown: right now.

 

[Spac3d]

Blazing deal, if only I hadn't just built a machine...

If you really want to run a faster server, what might be an possible thing to do is to sell the Xeon 2.0ghz for say $170 (goes for $200 NIB), and pick up a 2.4ghz XEON for $220, instead of having Dell gouge you on upgrading to the 2.4ghz for $100.

Also, this in addition to all the PC2100 ram deals makes an excellent time to buy a new server.

I am chomping at the bit to get the sc600 but have heard that they are hella loud and use proprietary case fans. Any thoughts, experiences, etc?

 

[pprior]

Seems you can double the RAM at no extra cost as well .... very tempting - it's a deal just for the drives alone - anyone know what 10k drives these are??

If you do that, kiss your $100 MIR goodbye, and considering you can get a stick of PC2100 Crucial for $58 after tax and shipping from Crucial.com, its not worth it.

I thought this needed Registered ECC ram?

did you uncheck all of the "extras" boxes (i.e., the 3-yr warranty)?
did you go through the small business site?

 

[AbsolutDealage]

ugh, I should just stop looking in this forum! Now I am broke.... again.

Damn, you can get ECC Registered RAM from Crucial.com for $125~ for a 512mb stick

I'm looking all over Dell's site for the 1600 poweredge for 549. Anybody know where the link is?

 

[Hoober]

Nevermind, got it.

 

[pprior]

Anyone know what brand drives these 10Ks are?

 

[croak]

If anyone gets one and wants to sell their Xeon 2.0Ghz, PM me. Want to make mine dual ASAP

 

[Oxonium]

Anyone know what chipset this uses?

 

[docinthebox]

Serverworks GC_SL chipset

specs

Excerpt of specs:

6 PCI slots total:
2x64-bit/100MHz PCI-X
2x64-bit/66MHz PCI
2x32-bit/33MHz PCI

Single channel embedded Ultra 320

Embedded Intel Gigabit Ethernet


This is a great deal if you want to experiment with PCI-X.


Edit: corrected link

Hrrm, can't get it to go below $799... probably a chair-to-keyboard interface problem.

$799 is as low as it can get. At this point you should apply the 15% off coupon. That brings it down by $120 to $680. Then the $100 MIR brings it down to $580.

what a deal! what's the advantage of getting a dell server over building my own? i really like their server cases though.

From what I have read, there is no AGP slot on this computer, just onboard graphics. This pretty much rules this computer out for gamers and might even rule it out for people doing intensive graphics work with something like Photoshop.
