Need source for pre-configured rackmount Windows Home Server computer
I need to buy a pre-configured (don't have time!) Windows Home Server machine in a rack-mount configuration. It doesn't need to be top notch, but well made. Thanks!
I really want the Home Server version - it's been running flawlessly for nearly a year on my current home. I really don't want XP Pro, Vista or Linux for a variety of reasons...
In all honesty to this question, Experts Exchange is more along for giving advise and coming up with solutions for problems. It's really not a place for seeking bids, sources or seeking out system builders for getting you a price quote for creating a customized server build you are seeking out.
In regards to Windows Home Server (WHS), you won't find many businesses that are willing to build out a rack-mount WHS server environment. Why? The biggest drawback to this setup will be power consumption. Rack mount systems aren't very power efficient (depending on the CPU and memory utilized) compared to what's available for the desktop.
I am really not soliciting bids. I have spent many hours trying to find a supplier of rack-mount Windows Home Server computers and had no luck finding one. I am using Experts Exchange because I feel it is a source of information and I do have a problem to solve - I need a rack mount home server and can't find one. mwecomputers gave a possible source, thanks. I have had zero problems with Windows Home Server and would like to put it in a vacation home and count on its reliability as I am very remote. Linux isn't a possibility as I am not a Linux guy. XP, while certainly better than Vista, has it's share of issues. WHS has been good to me, so I want to stick with it.
I did check out the link but did not find a rack-mountable unit. Bought an HP model. Very slick and well-thought-out. Thanks for your help.
