[asterisk-users] Had it with Dell Garbage - HP Question

[Jesse Molina]

If you want barebones where you add your own processor, RAM, hard drives, and options, try SuperMicro brand servers.  They are thousands of dollars less than the "big" (fat) names like IBM and HP/Compaq, but very good quality.

I've built several clusters of computers with SuperMicro systems.  They are great if you want to do barebones, clusters, or other special projects.

It just takes a little more time to do the assembly work.

Try newegg.com for some sample pricing.
