[geeks] Re: [rescue] Cheap 1U PC's

[geeks at sunhelp.org]

I'm going to move this over to geeks and start a flamewar by suggesting
you look at the low end Dell 1u boxen.  I've been really happy with the
Dell 2450 I own, and the others I've worked with (1550s, alot of
2450s).  They are reasonably priced (< 1k) and all in all quite decent
boxes.
