Buying a rackmount server... Usual systems are from Dell, wanted input on this to see if anyone would change something or go a different route.
This system will basically run BES/Exchange.
I know Dell's quotations are kindof a PITA to read so what the below is as far as hard disks are 1TB RAID 5 with 1 hot spare.
I'd prefer to buy new, as I generally cannot buy a long warranty buying refurbished.
Below is what I've got quoted at $3500.
