Second Hand Servers

[stc_bennett]

Hi all

Just wondered if anyone does office clearences or repos, i am looking for a second hand Server (Prefer Dell but any will do)

Anyone got any ideas of where i can get one or possible 2 from, i have tried ebay but i dont seem to trust some of the sellers on there..

Cheers

Steve

I think Ted will have one available as we are now running on the new server

Have you tried Dell's Outlet

www.euro.dell.com/countries/uk/enu/dfo/default.htm

I believe these are fully guaranteed 2nd user machines. Possibly ex-demo?

There's currently servers on there starting at £695

Have a hunt through ebay. Most of the servers on there are from clearance companies. most of my stock came from there, and i've not had any problems.

I'd echo those remarks regarding eBay. Choose someone with plenty of feedback and there are some very good deals to be had.

My problem is that i require over 800Gb of storage, and SCSI systems are a bit on the expensive side

You setting up an 'Adult' site?

Im setting up a media server for me home, to save tv shows etc for distribution around my home in all room on the respective wall mounted LCD displays

Sounds great! I have a old server in the garage but nothing like you require.

I think the dell stuff is returned/cancelled/unpaid orders.

800Gb? Bloody hell!
