Hi,

>>
If you are looking for a good entry level server, have a look at the IBM x306 1RU rack mounted server range.

They have intel everything, 2 x 80GB SATA RAID drives 512MB ram, Dual 1GB intel NIC's and retail for $1465.00AU ex tax, they are a great machine and for the price why would you look at anything else.

They even come with the rack mounting rails.

The only thing I would recommend is upgrading the RAM to 1-2GB depending on the application.

Sounds like a good deal. However the only hardware I'm repsonsible for are the development machines I use when working from home. I've nothing (directly) to do with production machines - in fact I don't think I've ever stepped inside any of the server rooms.
