Ok, let's see... $499 model: Celery CPU (forget SMP), no SCSI, 5400RPM IDE hard drive. That's OK for a consumer desktop system, definitely not good enough for a workstation. GW calls this "server"--WTF are they smoking???

Hey, LateWay, bring back that awesome 6400 deal! Dual CPU mobo with SCSI for under $400 rocks!

low end home computer.

Looks like they took a serverworks entry level uniproc mobo and shmoogered it up with the lowest end components they could find. Love the crap outta my 1400sc, my God it flys...

Just because you put low-end dektop components in a server case does not make it a true "server". Who in their right mind would want a Celeron server anyway? I guess E-machines was making servers all along, LOL!!!

The Dell Poweredge 500sc deal was hotter. It was for the same price $499 but had the $250 Rebate. Which makes it a whopping amazing price of $249. Not a powerhouse server with 1.1 Celeron but it'll work for static html pages.

Actually, the quality hardware components of a computer have nothing to do with whether it is a server or not. A server is determined by the software and the functionality of the machine, not the speed of the cpu or the rpms of the harddrive.

This would be perfectly fine for a number of things, including serving up reasonable amounts of static html pages.
