This has no features better then any other desktop, its basically a desktop labled a server.
parts list:
E2180 retail box $69.99
512mb ddr2 ram $5.00, the 2gb for $25.00 total would be a little better
motherboard $60.00 at most.
cd-rom $5.00
80gb hard drive value $20.00, as i got a 200gb a month ago for $35.00 from staples, with no rebate, so its probably not even worth $20.00
Case/PSU $55.00 was the EA380 and 4480 antec deal from FRY's last week and it was $45.00 from newegg a a few weeks before that
thats $215.00 total, did i miss something ???
* How about showing a link to a $5 stick of any speed decent 512MB DDR2 (none of that Pricewatch crap). $13/shipped is the cheapest on Newegg, as an example.
* How about showing a link to a $5 CD-ROM drive, new.
No offense, but this server is a decent price for what you get, including an actual warranty from Dell (which includes on-site). Notice you didn't figure that in. Some small businesses don't have the people who can build a custom machine or the time. No need to poo-poo on this deal.
