Computer deal for Canadians

[MiKman]

This might be a good a deal for candians that want a decent computer in their cabinet.

There is NO WAY a rackmount server will fit in a cabinet unless it is a very big cabinet ... they are about 28 inches long and designed specifically to be mounted in a rack (with mesh doors front and rear) with unimpeded airflow front to back.

Oh ... and they sound like a jet fighter with all the fans going.

Cheers.

EDIT: I suppose you could mount vertically, but these are still big, loud units.

These things don't even have video cards do they? Don't you have to hook these up the the main rackmount server which has the video ouput on it?

Good point -- they'll have onboard, but you can't install an alternative (for those who want to drive arcade monitors or TVs).

Cheers.

Yes.. Didnt look at specs, but id guess its standard VGA output..

Admittedly I have never bought a Celeron-based server, so perhaps they run quieter than the Dell rackmounts that I do have ... and perhaps I exagerated about the jet engines ...

 

Cheers.
