Need a new Linux server.. Looking for HW deals

Post by Lyion »

Ok, My P2 250/200M Gig HDD Linux server has gotten a bit long in the tooth.

What I'd like to find is something that can run as my linux file/web/mysql database server. I am debating building it via newegg, but if anyone knows of a good midlevel PC for sale cheap, let me know.

Can't go wrong with newegg.

If you have the time to wait, just pick up clearance items every week and put it together for cheap. Can have a very nice system going for almost any need cheaply in 2-3 weeks.

You should be able to put one together for around $200 if you shop around. Lots of places have barebones systems with no OS loaded for dirt cheap. If I was going to buy a new server, I'd buy one of the small profile machines and use that. Those things are cool and pretty cheap.
