RE: [suse-linux-uk-schools] Rack Mouted Servers

Octree do an entry level for about £800ish which would probably do, although the next one up is probably worthwhile if you're using it in a classroom environment, partly because the entry chassis has pretty loud fans and partly because it looks prettier :-). Also the entry level is limited to 512Mb RAM where as the next spec up can cope with 6Gb...

Thats about it really. I don't need any frills, I want to keep things simple for the students and for me. -----Original Message----- From: Chris Puttick [SMTP:chris@centralmanclc.com] Sent: 28 August 2002 11:57 To: 'suse-linux-uk-schools@suse.com' Subject: RE: [suse-linux-uk-schools] Rack Mouted Servers If you want a supported cost-effective solution, try Octree - http://www.octree.co.uk - who offe a nice range of rackmount kit and have superb support.

I have checked out Dell and Compaq and they are just too expensive. I need something simple, ie no SCSI etc. For anyone who is interested, it will run Linux. It may turn out to become an education product to teach people/ shool children about Linux.
