RE: New PC Build (slightly OT)

Oooh.... anyone heard of the Gateway Microserver listed on this site? For
£250 (I assume EX VAT) might be worth grabbing one but all of the links on
their page are dead and I can't find much about them on the net.

Hi Mike,

I was considering building a server a couple of months ago - but then I
found Midland Computers.  They resell Dell returns and factory excess stock
I got a rack-mount server built to my spec with Win 2000 server cheaper
than
I could buy all the parts.
Dell Poweredge 2550 PIII 933, 256 Mb, 3 x 36Gb 10K SCSI HDD, RAID 5
controller, redundant power supplies, CD/FDD, 2 x 10/100 LAN, 1 gig LAN,
Win
2000 Server, 5 CAL - £2490

Web site www.serversource.co.uk

Also got APC 3000VA rackmount UPS for £595 !!! :o)

I’m thinking of building a couple of new PC’s for home
One as my main Machine running XP
The other running 2000 pro as a webserver/terminal server/ ACE/Homevision
etc

But before I jump any comments
I’m looking at scan (Haven’t spoken to anyone yet)
Abit KT7-A-RAID Socket A KT-133A without Audio
1.4GHz (266fsb) AMD Athlon SoA CPU
512Mb SDRAM PC-133 (64x4)
41.2Gb IBM Deskstar 60GXP ATA-100 (8.5ms 2MB Cache 7200rpm)
+ assorted goodies
Must have 1 ISA slots for my serial extender card

Any comments on cases and PSU
The scan one for £35 seems cheap wats the catch ?
They also have an aluminium one for £169 so I’m a bit confused

or can someone recommend a good newsgroup for PC builds etc

Thanks

Mike
