Which windows hardware server is best?

Hi,

We are planning to purchase server hardware (windows server 2008) for development purpose. I browsed websites like Dell, HP and Lenovo, but I am not sure which one to go for.

Usually, what specifications you look for? for example, when I purchase a laptop, I would go for brand, processor speed, graphics card, memory and cost etc..

Similarly, what should be my benchmarks to buy a server hardware for IT development and deployment.

P.S. My manager is looking for something between $ 4000-$5000.

Thanks
Vishnu

Hi,

Thanks for your quick reply. We are planning to use that development server for TFS (Team Foundation), host web applications, and finally, Sql Server database. Currently, our development team consists of 4 people, So anything that supports 10 people should be fine.

This server would be used primarily for development purposes. I think this should give an idea of what we are thinking of. Please advice.

Thanks
Vishnu
