Hi Pradeep,

Pardon me asking that, but do you really need the server on 24x7?

I see a few good things in the server someone is selling you.

* 512MB SDRAM ECC Registered
* Server nonredundant SMPS (440W)
* Mobo Intel SAI2 Dual Tulatine processor 1.13G Server

Here, I would ask you it is actually a dual-processor server or just dual-processor capable?

If your old machine is doing the job well, I say why spend 25K on this. Secondly, if I were you and would not actually need a machine on 24x7, I would spend my money on a newer powerful desktop. Still, I must confess the ECC Registered RAM and the redunant power supply do tempt me.

Thanks,

DH
