Rackmount Server

[chrisw142300]

Hi i was just wondering if anyone could give me and advice on which server to get for £500. I will be using it to run many servers

can we have some more information?

it sounds like you want to run multiple virtual servers off of a single physical server, is this correct?

what kind of tasks/roles are you planning on using it for?
does redundancy matter much? or do you have another physical server providing this.

Rackmount servers are expensive. £500 will get you a barely functional PC. £500 will barely buy you the CPU for a new server. If you want to "run many servers" then you will need to pony up the cash accordingly.

For £500 you're only going to get used equipment - this Poweredge looks pretty good for the price -> http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Dell-1950-III-Dual-Quad-Core-Xeon-3-0Ghz-16GB-RAM-SATA-SAS-1U-PowerEdge-Server-/110864364702?pt=UK_Computing_Servers&hash=item19d007f49e
