Forum OpenACS Q&A: Re: cheap Dell servers for next 4 days

I walked through the Dell configurator again to see if adding Red Hat would change anything else.  Near as I can tell, it comes out the same.  However, my order confirmation email does not list specific part numbers (why the hell not?) so I can't compare to what I ordered.

The base discount is $80 today, whereas I think it was $110 yesterday -- the miracle of dynamic pricing, at work.

One person who bought a similar server recently found that it ran very hot and needed more/better fans.  He said this applies to a dual-processor capable system, which (to my surprise) is the case for the Serverworks Grand Champion SL motherboard.
