Off Topic Server recommendations

[David Schwartz]

What’s the server for?

Just an in-house file server?

Or does it need to be a web server with external / public access?

I was wondering if I should build my own or go with and OEM such as dell. I would consider HP but I do like Dell's direct to purchase/customization but I am free for suggestions. I was thinking an Xeon E3 quad core, about 8gb of ram, 4 500gb hard drives and that should be about it. I am thinking about building my own because a lot of the server boards come with IPMI support and the Dell model I was looking at was the T1102 which does not inlcude IPMI what so ever. Thanks for taking the time.
