Rectron Pricelist

Axiz Durban have the 4600+ for 2055 incl VAT.

If this is a machine for basically handling routing of a ADSL account, a small box, running something like smoothwall will be perfect. Using Linux, you can take that 3GB and split evenly, say 1GB each. If one user reaches his 1GB, it cuts him, with out touching the other guys stuff. When all 3 are up, it then opens up the line to all three. This way, when the 1GB is up, he does eat into other peoples bandwidth, by browsing "locally". It's not difficult to do. Theoretically, you don't even need a proxy to do it, just a properly configured firewall. Proxy is easier though.

From a hardware perspective, AMD 2200+, with 256MB RAM, with a linux based firewall will do the job. It can even act as a central file server, and host a small intranet website for you, so you can dump stuff. I suggest a local caching proxy, to help save bandwidth, coz I guess you guys will visit similar sites. Set it up as a gateway and as a proxy. Browse with proxy, torrent direct, game direct. Best method for bandwidth usage.

Just my 2c worth
 
razor just buy the 3800x2 and overclock it

way better

what rectron did was when they swopped out a board, they would get their guy to fix it and then use those fixed boards to swop out broken boards

dodgy dodgy company
i dont buy m/b's from there anymore

when u swop a board out for a new board at rectron check the board and you can see its not new.

dude why do you want a pricelist of a company that you cannot buy from, so that you can buy next to nothing for your server?

i dont understand why you want a pricelist if you dont have an account
 
Killa I would take your advice if it wernt for the fact that they only have 512k cache, whereas the 4400 has 1meg

:)
 
I have xero Linux skills so i'll be using WinXP! Any1 know of a prog called allegro surf...? coz that's what im planning on using
 
Purchased a PC 2 years ago, and 2 my surprise the hard drive crashed 2 months after having the PC.

Rectron replaced the HD (seagate 80GB) cos it was under warranty. 2 months later, same problem, HD crashed, hard drive replaced , this time id purchased a backup drive as these crashes were a little frequent.

6 Months later, HD crashes , back 2 rectron, get the power supply replaced and a few other goodies. 7 months later, back 2 rectron, HD crashes , but wait, this time I have 2 purchase a new drive, cos the drive is out of warranty, despite the fact that the original problem has never been resolved.

Rectron send my drive in for "testing", i walk out *** that I've had 2 cough up more money, and never get called back regarding my drive. So 2 weeks later the new drive crashes, and i take the system back and demand that they replace everything inside the pc. 2 weeks later they still have my PC. I return, *** as *** collect my PC, and my memory is missing. So after much fighting, pointless threats 2 management I get my memory back, staff are 2 blame. So 2day the drive crashed , back 2 rectron & they tell me the drive is out of warranty,so off to storegate & they replaced the HD

It's sad when end users by from distributors and then are surprised when they get bad service. The distro's are set up to support companies with technical staff who sell a lot of computers - not individuals buying for themselves.

You get what you pay for.

Rectron give the same extremely bad service to their company customers which is why no-one I know still buys from them. The story above is typical. You bring in faulty products, they allegedly test them, you wait months for replacements. Rectron aren't set up to support anyone.
 
no thats where i find rectron awesome

i take my stuff in gets tested and swopped out right there and then

never had a problem with that

Well I wouldn't touch their Sahara branded stuff, but a name brand product is the same wherever you buy it. Why pay more to a crooked business like Rectron for the same thing?
 
I went through the 2 minute ordeal of registering. Why can I not get access to a PRICE LIST? Do I need to open an Account OR WHAT? Does this Company actually want new business?

Well, if the y did in fact swop out the drive, and like 4 different drives all broke up on this guy, it's his house's power supply.
Will be funny if he tries to take Rectron to court over this :)
 
Rectron's gone to **** in the last few years and their product range just keeps going down down down.... for people in Cape Town, Frontosa is right next door to Rectron and so much better. They also sell everything under the sun and then some.
