Trying this again. Choices.......

I'd personally go for the 350e w/SFF
-
@DenisKelley I replied to them and said to do the 350e with SFF earlier. I'm more concerned with how much RAM and CPU they are sending with it. Am I to get a single CPU ML350e with 8GB RAM? or a super sweet 96GB+ Dual CPU 8 core+ system? Dual Powersupply? Charge me to ship it? It's still a big mystery at the moment.
-
Even if it is only a single proc with 8 gigs.. you can add the others yourself down the road.
I'm guessing they might only give you two, maybe 4 drives to setup either RAID 1 or RAID 10 for testing. -
@Dashrender I've already told them I'm happy just to be given the opportunity. I don't really care at this point, I'll have something I can use for a home lab at the least which is something I don't have at the moment.

I want to +1 Bill's last post but the idea of adding to his reputation just because I like his post doesn't seem to make sense.

Better than getting ten points whether anyone likes it or not!

I never knew that until a few months ago. Seriously, always thought it was just from +1's and BA's / HP's / How-To's etc.
-
Yeah, the vast majority of the points are just from participating. You get 11 points for every thread you say "me too". Only takes a second. So the points actually encourage shallow, pointless interactions. BA points are so hard to get that they are a waste of time if points are the goal.

And, of course, there are reviews too....
-
Yes. 25 pts no matter what you say and half the time the product doesn't even exist.
-
@scottalanmiller I just checked, I hit 130k today. I just made a couple of new how-to's, still have a few more ideas I'm working on. But I find the lack of posters wanting to have discussions disappointing.
-
I wonder where all the people having the conversations have gone?
-
@scottalanmiller I know a place........

I was wondering the same.
-
We need to find such a wonder pus place full of conversation.
-
I thought we already did, we're just trying to grow right now... LOL

Time to start telling your friends!
-
Your gut has probably already made up its mind. You've heard what people have said and you've either been accepting or excusing it. Figure that out and there's your answer.

@ajstringham No one really asked why I dropped being a mod, then a GA over there. And the few that did ask are here now.

My gut has made up its mind and it is set on beer and crisps.
