Anyone got a contact for buying rackmounted servers cheap?



Kind of tossing around the idea of building a 1u server.



Thanks

The networking guy I work with can set up a decent (not bad, but not the best) server with amazing security... I'm not sure on price but I'd estimate a grand. Depends though... I can talk to him if you'd like.

Build your own. Or search for used 1u Dell servers on eBay. They are Linux and Windoz certified.
