which one will be better, a brand new dell 400sc 2.8 with hyperthreading or the 600sc with a p4 2.4?

mostly will be a file server.

If you do not need the 2 extra Hot swap bays or 64bit PCI slots
then the 400SC would work just fine for a home/small office server.

If you want a Server that will easily upgradable with future products,
(ie 64bit addon controller cards) then the 600SC is the way to go.

The 400SC is more like a regular PC. Same inards as Dimension 8300 and Precision 360. If your using this for a simple file server at home I would recommend the 400SC. The 600SC is designed as a server. It's normally louder (rear fan). 400SC costs less these days especially when they have nice deal.
