Title:
Best Little Server for Small Busineses...
Posted06 January 2011
Yes, I would recommend this product
This "SERVER" is not noisy, it is not a PC, it is a SERVER! But yes you can sit in the same room without it driving you nuts. The thing I love about this is the Redundant Power Supplies, Since Power Supplies are typically the number 1 critical thing to go out, you have 2 (If you upgrade) and yes with 2 PS it is still quiet. Buy the "Cabled" Drives, Buy only 1 of Dell's Drive and buy your own Drives Put them in and Save Money. (You soon can't do this because there are some NEW Dell RAID cards that I think want Only DELL Drives. (I don't know if they did this yet but I won't buy a Dell Server that "TIES" Me to Dell Drives. (I would go to "INSERT OTHER BRAND" if they do this for all their systems.) OK, Recap this thing is quite, Well built, Redundant PS option, What else can you ask for in a Small Business Server? Russ
Pros:microsoft small business server

Great Value for small business.

Yes, I would recommend this product
The other Poster of "Nice Job" complained that he ordered the Nividia 256MB 8600M GT Card, (Which I have also.) and his S Video Connector didn't work. My S Video Connector does work. (You have to hit Fn + F8 To Enable or disable the S Video connector.) Hopefully that was tried?
I paid extra for the 3 year warranty because I use this Thing DAILY for hours and Hours (I support Small Business servers all over the World for a living.) I hope I don't have to use it but my last laptop fell apart after 2.5years of my heavy usage. (My Warranty was only 2 years last time.)
Yes it's heavy, but I really don't care about the weight, I ordered the Extra Long Battery (Sorry it's not a 7.5hr battery) 5 is about the max and if you run the CD it's less.
I do love the Wifi Finder (Just like having NetStumbler on your system.)
There is also the Video/Music ability without staring windows, that looks cool, but since the only time I'll use this is on a plane, I haven't used it yet, but soon.
I like the keyboard layout of this system.
Straight forward and no new key positions to learn like other laptops keyboards force you to learn.
The Amazing thing is the Microphones, located on the Screen (Where they should be) and they have Intelesonic Speech enhancement that helps when you are using it. (Not perfect but the best in sound I've heard on a laptop.)
(I use a SIP Program to access my VOIP and the mics work great at cutting out background noise.)
I've had it for a month now and It's now my new best friend. I

Pros:No Trial Bloatware, and XP Pro, I hate getting a system and spend 1hr uninstalling trial ware, I'm in the business to WORK, I installed my Antivirus, Office 2007, and some basics like shock-wave and Java etc, and I was up and running.
Latch on Lid, (Not all laptops have latches anymore)
4 USB Ports
S Video out and Monitor out.
Cons:The other poster of "Nice Job" Complained about the front bezel not being flat, I noticed it, but it's not enough to get my feathers in a ruffle. the only thing I don't like, is no one knows how to put stickers on a PC Straight anymore? When did they stop using Templates to place stickers? Other than that I love it.
Comes with Paper Manual. (I haven't seen a Paper user manual since 1987)
