    I thought I would throw this out to fellow CPians. My home office is small, and I need a server machine to test some development ideas. Bleeding edge cpu is not important, nor is graphics, but decent dual hard drives are. Being that the office is small, I need a quiet system as reasonable possible. Any suggestions for equipment? thanks C. Gilley Will program for food... My son's PDA is an M249 SAW.

      For RAID or extra space? You can buy a decent HP/Compaq during this week on sale at Fry's/Circuity City/Best buy along with extra HDD and tune it as you like. As a starter look at http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/HP-Pavilion-Desktop-PC-A1206N-/sem/rpsm/oid/137482/catOid/-12962/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do[^] and http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Western-Digital-Internal-Hard-Drive-WD2000JBRTL-/sem/rpsm/oid/80169/catOid/-12973/rpem/ccd/productDetail.do[^].

        Mainly raid, performance tests, but the main requirement is being quiet. C. Gilley Will program for food... My son's PDA is an M249 SAW.
