"Tesco" vs Dell vs Sun vs others....

[Anjay]

Curious here, for those who have dedicated servers or co-locate, are your servers either no-brand, Dell, Sun or something else?

No brand - by this I mean a generic one like FeaturedServers, etc. - not big name brands like Dell, Sun, HP, Compaq, etc.


So, do you use Sun, Dell, HP, no-name or what?



Currently I use no-name from FeaturedServers. I was considering using those from Sun, Dell or HP however all were too pricey. If I did, I'd probably get Sun as their Dual Xeon 3.2Ghz are very well priced at about $6,000~ with dual scsi 36gb drives, 2gb ram and lots more.
I like the no-name brand ones since it's usually half the price, and when you're ordering a lot, it's much better pricing.

You might want to take a look at 1U servers offered at ColoMachine. Their 1U servers are amazingly low-price. It's like buying in bulk pricing.
