PowerEdge 1600SC Dual Capable 2.0Ghz Xeon Server with TWO 73GB 10k RPM U320 SCSI Drives for $579.15 after Rebate{DEAD]

[NetWareHead]

I also need some 73 gig drives. Anyone selling?

 

[manly]

It's a longshot, but since the initial PowerEdge 1600SC page still quotes a price of $549 after $250 instant discount, you could try calling up a Dell rep on the phone and ordering that way. They just might do a price adjust of $150.

I'm definitely tempted, but I need a new workstation, not a server. But if it had an AGP slot, I'd be in.

This probably reminds a few peeps of the Gateway 6400 server deal of way back, except that you can trust Dell to fulfill the order.

dead

that page also shows 100 instant and 100 mail in rebate. looks like deal is dead.

I just called - for an SC600 RAID1 with 2x120GB IDE - and the sales rep did honor the deal (had to bring it to the supervisor though). For the SC600 he will honor the quote I got at least for today(see that thread). I'd suggest you call and try the same for the 1600. (...mine was saved this AM in the shopping cart and I had to get approval... and now I can't order it anymore ... )

From FW:

<< Ok...just looked inside the 1600sc system that came today.The 73gb HD is the

[unsped]

you can get 73gb 10k sca hot swap drives for ~$160, and the cpu for $190, granted youll never get the going rate for either.

160x2 + 190 = $510

the case ram and other junk $150

$660 and thats on a good day, plus you have to wait for the rebate. sorry not hot for me at all. a good deal if you wanted a dell server anyways ... but not worth buying if you didn't need it imho.

Where are you finding 128MB ECC Registered DDR, a decent server chassis, a 48x CDROM (Black), a floppy drive, and a nice dual-proc server motherboard with onboard U320 SCSI and gigabit NIC, plus all the other little stuff I failed to mention? I priced it out at Newegg, and it was definitely just a bit over $660...

Yes that mobo alone must be well over $100

Yes, WELL over $100: see here for comparable motherboard

 

[MichaelD]

How often does a HOT deal of this calibur come along, anyway? I missed out.

 

[vette98]

Can anyone recommend a good PCI video card for this motherboard. I just picked up a 512mb ECC registered pc2100 memory chip for $70 and now all I need is a video card.

Where? Are they U320 drives? I'd really like to know.

The Fujitsu MAP drives that are coming with the 1600sc are over $400 retail. You don't think someone could sell theirs for $200-$250?

I'm not 100% certain, but I remember seeing a post about ATI Radeon 7000/9000's working with this motherboard. It's probably in this thread somewhere, I'm just too lazy to look.

EDIT: Here you go: http://4crawler.cruiserpages.com/Developer/VisualWorkstation/PCI/index.shtml
And apparently the ATI 7500SE and the ATI 9000 are compatible.

 

[Twingo]

Is the Radeon 9000 the highest performance PCI card (for gaming) available? I can't seem to find anything else higher than that really. They have it at newegg for 96 or 97 dollars. Wondered if you could get a 9500 or 9700 in PCI ?

if you add a good 450W power supply (which is what the 1600sc comes with), the total would be over $700.

vette98,

Where did you go to get the 512 ram for $70? =)

Can anyone recommend a good PCI video card for this motherboard. I just picked up a 512mb ECC registered pc2100 memory chip for $70 and now all I need is a video card.
