I’ve used the HP Microservers (with SBS) a couple of times, and other than the lack of standard ILO, was very happy with them.

Subject: suggestions for Buying a small server?



I'm in the market for a small, cheap server machine to replace the aging Dell Workstations I'm using for my students (Pentium III Coppermine... really ;).

I don't need anything special in the way of graphics. Need 2-4 Gigs of Ram ( to be honest, haven't had issues with the 512Meg I have in the existing ones).

Just want something stable, able to take 2 or more SATA drives and not be much of a power hog. I'll be using CentOS 6 on them. And I'd like to keep it in the low range for the student server, under $500 if I can.

Dennis Kibbe has suggested some of the HP Proliant Micro Servers, and they do look interesting. I figured I'd just ask this group for some of their opinions,
