Unbeatable price for a low end Asterisk server (or any server for that

I wonder if anyone has any experience with this box and Digium or Sangoma
hardware? Any compatibility issues? If not, I might stock up on them.

Wow - that *is* a great price. I don't have any of this particular
box in production, but I do have 2 PowerEdge SC440s (one step up from
the T105) running asterisk along with Sangoma PRI cards. They're
working great. I really only have two issues with these low-end
servers:

1. You can't order 'em with RAID support. I'm getting around this by
using software RAID1 in linux, but I'd much prefer having a hardware
RAID controller.
2. The Dell DRAC remote management cards aren't compatible with these
low-end server motherboards. I've become *completely* addicted to the
DRAC cards on the high-end PowerEdges, to the point that I now refuse
to order a server without a DRAC card.

That said, I'm sure this server would run a small/medium asterisk
install just fine.

You can add the raid option for $199. I think I might pickup about ten of
them at this price. I can always resell them as general purpose servers or
even workstations if Asterisk/Zaptel/Linux does not like the boxen.

Ahh - nice. That wasn't an option when I ordered the SC440.

That link isn't working for me. Can you post some details and the
price so I can see if I can recreate it?

Thanks,

P.S. I got one of the new Vostro boxes a couple of months ago for a
very small Asterisk install and CentOS wouldn't recognize the onboard
network card. Given enough time we probably could have gotten it to
work, but we ended up putting in a $10 network card and had no other
trouble. The Vostro came in at $300 or so.

P.S.S. I know a while back the Dell SC models had problems with Digium
cards over interrupt handling. Anyone using SCs with Digium cards
these days?

That deal is no more. I suspect Dell was trying to really boost sales
figures so they priced this server so low that they could move a few
thousand or tens of thousands of units. The deal lasted three days.

Yeah I have several Dell SC 430-450's running Asterisk with a variety of
Digium cards. I haven't been having a lot of those issues since CentOS 4.5.
