For a long time I've had a good history with Dell servers. I currently have a PowerEdge Tower 1xx series at home, a LUV member has my previous PowerEdge Tower 1xx series at his home, and I've got a bunch of clients happily using 1xx series systems and one client with a PowerEdge Tower 630 (18*3.5" SATA disks running nicely on ZFS).
Now I've ordered a 1xx series for a client in May and it looks like it won't arrive until July, the client is not happy at all.
What's a good affordable low end name brand server system where I can get delivery in a reasonable time period? Just need 2*SATA disks, ECC RAM, and nothing else special (don't need redundant PSUs).
IBM had always impressed me with their gear and Lenovo has done well with Thinkpads so I checked out their servers but their web site broke.
Okay, well I think your customer is being unreasonable; it would be difficult to source plenty of hardware that has to come from overseas at this time for obvious reasons.... Having said that, perhaps a second hand unit from eBay might get them out of trouble and perhaps save them some money at the same time. A.
