I researched the componets before I bought them. Its a budget server, I have a total of $580 in componets. I am using it for a article on my website. I think it will live a long life.

I didnt plan on having problems with my Dell. I was going to run two servers, and resync the website on both servers. Now I am going to be down to one server. I could try and fix the Dell but I am afraid something else will pop up. I have had it for 2 years and I got more than my fair share of use out of it.

With in the 12 months I will be getting a Dual Xeon server. I just want this new custom server to last untill then. I wouldnt mind testing the limits of the server, I think that would make a great article.
