I just paid $550 for a dell 2400 with comparable spex (except it had 36G
drives, and 2 PSU's)... You might want to drop your price considerably.

ROTFL!!!!
You're comparing a low end POS desktop against a rack mounted server with 10K RPM SCSI drives, RAID, etc..... I didn't see a smiley face, but you are joking, right????????????????? -- Regards, Hank Arnold "NuT CrAcKeR" wrote in message ...

The price is a little high $1800-2000 would be about right as HP is
now enforcing the non-transferable clause in their warranty so make sure the unit has no history or registered owner BEFORE buying and if it does pay accordingly. As far as the poor guy who bought the Dell , well the DL380 has a duty cycle you can run a data center on , you Dell is nothing more than a bloated desktop. Try this, tell Dell support (when you finally get through) that your drive is showing up as failed in the NOS and on the drive itself on your RAID 5 configuration on your 911 SQL server . First of all the dick will tell you to try reseating the failed drive running a very good chace of destroying your data and secondly the "tech" will not even remind you to back you data up. HP will just ship you a drive (unless you have multiple failures) . You know why ??? Because Dell does not make real servers and the people who trained the techs know that none of their customers will put a mission critical app on their crappy equipment anyways On Wed, 05 Nov 2003 08:36:50 GMT, "Hank Arnold" wrote: ROTFL!!!!

its good to see that platform bigotry is alive an well.
Use whatever you have to that gets the job done. Its like I said, I prefer the Hpaq systems, its my customers that insist on buying the dell servers because of thier price. Yes, thier support blows, but like most competent engineers, I only call them as a last resort. I dont have the time to school them to the ways of how servers are supposed to operate. And, just so you know, I work for a fortune 100 company and we have about 600 dell servers. We also have about 1250 Compaq/HP servers, and about 400 IBM servers. Have you ever heard of a Silo? We have 2, and about a dozen other StorageTek mutlti-terabyte libraries. We average about 4.3 9's of uptime a quarter throughout our entire enterprise. So before you run your ignorant mouth making statements like "...none of their customers will put a mission critical app on their crappy equipment anyways..." perhpas you would like me to teach you the definition of mission critical. As Mark Twain once said, "It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool, than to open your mouth and remove all doubt". It reminds me of you.

I am very proud of you , you know of a good Dell installation and so
do I . I also know of a lot of bad Dell installs as well . A good company stands behind their equipment when it goes bad , something I don't see from Dell.

Hank,
Do your homework and see what you can learn about the PowerEdge 2400. Its a badass... though I still prefer Hpaq systems. I am guessing you know nothing about dell servers, or the reference to "comparable spex" would not have been lost on you. the DL380 and the PE2400 are about the same age, and designed for "roughly" the same market segment. The only 2 advantages that the DL has over the PE is that it is 3U instead of 5U, and is a Compaq instead of a Dell. The dell has more internal storage and better I/O capabilites with 66Mhz PCI-X slots (and more of them), and you can cram a DLT into the box while still enjoying the use of your CDROM. I hate to admit it.. .but I am becoming a fan of Dell's OpenManage and ArrayManager tools. If it hasnt happend already, its only a matter of time before the Hpaq systems start shipping with the same types of tools. IBM tools arent even in the same realm when it comes to this stuff... Not an "exact" apples to apples comparason, but close enough. And I still wouldnt pay more than $600 for the DL, as configured. Also, let me clarify, that I bought the server for a client, and not for myself. You might not think that is important, but Dan might appreciate the clarification.
