The G4s are just as noisy but don't seem to have fan speed control, the last one we build had to be put in an empty room while it was configured.

We only do the ML350s, so I've not heard/encountered any other servers - apart from Dell <spit>

Yeah unfortuantly we have some clients with Dells that either decided to go out and buy one themselves, or already had them before we took over their IT support.

One client had a ML370 G3 with SBS 2000 on and decided to "upgrade" it to a Dell with SBS 2003 on their own, they made a right hash of it, I had to go in and spend a day fixing it, the problem is they had their own IT guy!!

ML370 G3s can run 2003 perfectly, over 60% of our servers are ML370 G3s.

Yeah. We contract our installation services to 3rd parties who supply the (dodgy) Dell hardware - then expect us to fix the hardware when we're only responsible for the OS Made your bed...

An update from my very old pics : http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/sh...&postcount=243

And : http://www.cableforum.co.uk/board/sh...3&postcount=37

These were taken a few weeks back : Not really happy with it as I really only want 2 pcs in there and hopefully will be pc' less in the future - Will post the cat5 wall outlet which does look slick.

ps the laptop is not there for display purposes The single mouse keyboard controls all three monitors like 1 extended desktop besides theres not even a third of my gear on display so I'm not in show off mode (yet) heh

Apologies in advance for letting the side down if it's too tidy.

I really can't understand how people can use those GOD AWFUL "computer desks" !! There's zero room to rest your arms/wrists when you're typing and using your mouse!

+ those stupid "slide out mouse trays"......! Hilarious! lol!

Mines always been fine for resting hands/wrists/arms on It just depends how far the tray slides out really. Mine slides a good foot out so it's usually not a problem.

Do you find it comfortable typing/using the mouse with that setup? There's... zero room!

[marky]
