Can I be checky and ask how much it cost ?? :D



And do you need a special ISP to run it?

I recommend ScsiStuff.Com:

I've purchased three of their units over the years and always had excellent service. I purchased some upgraded memory and a rail kit to go with it. About $3,800 for the hardware.

If you provide your own hardware, then you'd need someone with a rack to place your server.

For some odd reason, I read the thread title: 'My new server SUCKS!' & thought someone is telling how is he being ripped off! :)

Congrats for the good choice... looks neat.

Ooops.

could u comment on my questions ? ;)

waw :D i dont have such a huge forum to invest that much :p

Nice choice!

Congrats :)

Attachments don't really have much of an impact on a server except for disk space; once the connection is open, its just bandwidth for the most part and not CPU intensive. It's transactional stuff like lots of queries on your database that have a much bigger impact and require more horsepower.

For 800 or so users, you are going to need some decent power to your server; something like this would be ideal, but even a Dual P4 with 2mb cache would be suitable.
