Don't get me wrong, I like Dell. Last week I went to a local TS2 meeting and the presenter talked about the cost of servers has gone down and gave Dell as an example with a server starting at $299. Two days ago I decided to find out. I went to Dell website and priced out the Dell server. I started out with the $299 barebones server and loaded it up with a typical selection of components for a small SBS server. I ended up with $2852. The 2GB of ram was the big ticket item af about $1000 but most of the components were much higher than retail. $1800 for the rest of the server is still too high for an entry level server. Hmm...
