Refurbished rack servers

[gumpie]

Hey guys.

Does anyone have a idea where to gt refurbished rack mount servers in jhb. I have found http://www.africapc.co.za/products_servers.html these guys so long but its always good to shop around?

Thanks

Have you tried calling Dell, HP, IBM & Sun yet?

if possible, stay away from SCSI raid as SCSI is on its way out.

SAS and SATA raid will replace SCSI.

Good point, for servers I would prefer SAS though.

I found a site online, where a guy designed a custom rack for his backup business, far cheaper than the big brands amd looks quite professional, ill try to find the site again and post.

I could be way off here but here's the link: http://blog.backblaze.com/2009/09/01/petabytes-on-a-budget-how-to-build-cheap-cloud-storage/
