When ever I come accross someone wanting to buy a Dell, I offer to build them a PC free of charge

Ugh. I haven't got the time or inclination to provide support for systems I build for the tech-illiterate.

Only people I did that for was the best man at my wedding and my parents. It ends there.

Of course something's wrong, it's a Dell. Overpriced proprietary garbage.
That looks like a s775 chip, why not pick up a cheap s775 board and swap over everything else?

Thats what is going on here. Plus moving to DDR3 in stead of 2. I had some laying around might as well use it :rockout:

I'm a bit of a suka when it comes to things like this, I can't help but help people. I've even done screen replacements and such for free. Really need to start charging people :laugh:

(only charged for doing two of the pcs I've built and that was £50 including 3 year support :laugh:

I don't know. The systems I use at work are all Dell's and they're pretty great.

My thoughts exactly. And while that shot of all those drives is impressive, I can almost guarantee that the first time you have to pop the actual server unit open for a cleaning or RAM upgrade, etc., you'll notice that the motherboard is a Dell proprietary motherboard.

ALL server OEMs use proprietary motherboards. That's actually part of what you get with the price premium...

If I wanted a standard form factor I'd go assemble my own.

Why is "proprietary" a bad word? Processors use "proprietary" sockets. If you get an Asus Maximus Extreme-z motherboard I have to buy a processor from Intel that is part of a specific lineup if I want to use it.

And I guarantee that the first time I had to pop open the server for maintenance/upgrades, I noticed that the proprietary Dell motherboard was setup to be entirely tool-less. (Even the CPU Heatsink latches are toolless).

Maybe you can tell me how you'd work hot-swappable power supplies with a non-proprietary motherboard?

Blades are nice if everything uses the same few fabrics. But I need 8Gb FC, 16Gb FC, 2 generations of SAS, 1 GbE, & 10 GbE. For that, 2U works pretty darn well!

I would suggest to other OEMs that we create a standardised format....

Not ALL. There are servers that use non-proprietary motherboards from companies such as SuperMicro and even DFI(they are still around but commercial only now).

pantherx12 said:

Yes, a standardized format would be ideal. Although the form factor itself is pretty standard, it would be nice to be able to do repairs/upgrades with off-the-shelf parts, rather than having to order that part from the server manufacturer.
