New Dell computer
Hi.
I'd like to build a new Dell, however I'm not sure which one suits best. Minimum requirements: 1x PCI / 1x PCIe 1x PCI-X (for external RAID SATA II card) Space for 6 Harddisks SATA II Dual-Core Intel = 3.0 GHz 2 GB memory floppy PowerPlant +500W MultiCardReader (SD CF-II) 2x Firewire 3x USB 2.0 It's basically for video applications (cutting, rendering, muxing, authoring, bruning, ...) Thanks. -- Georges Heinesch |

Well, you're beyond me. You clearly are looking for a server. None of the
Optiplex or Dimensions will meet your requirement, particularly for a PCI-X slot (which I consider a dead-end anyway). From your specs, you might want to just build your own. Really overkill, but...

get a refurb server from the outlet, and then get a nice 256mb PCI video
card. that will give you everything you want. add your own OS. that is the only thing you'll be able to do with dell. Georges Heinesch wrote: Hi.

George,
If you can wait about a month, the 'Core 2' machines should be available. Robert "Tom Scales" wrote in message . .. Well, you're beyond me. You clearly are looking for a server.

If you have to order at dell.de or dell.be, your're stuck regarding the "self built Dell", since only dell.com offers this possibility with the XPS 700. But ... let's make out of the PCI-X bus a PCIe bus, which Dell would suit best then? Thanks, -- Georges Heinesch |

Thanks. -- Georges Heinesch Buy an Antec server case (which will hold 6+ drives in (2) 3-drive quick-release cages). Should be able to find one retail with an Antec 500 watt PS already in the case. http://www.antec.com/us/productDetails.php?ProdID=91550 Pick up a suitable Asus or ABIT system board that matches your specs.
