Hello everyone,
I'm looking to get another server for running ESXi, and thanks to this place, I've found out the Dell C1100's and HP DL 160 G6's are great deals on eBay right now. I think one seller has the exact same spec'd C1100's and DL 160's for the same price right now, and so I guess it turns into Dell vs HP.
The specs are:
2x L5520 Xeon
72GB RAM
on both the Dell and HP
I know the IPMI is different, but it's not that important to me. Also, the Dell case spins down the fans so it's decently quiet, but does the HP get quiet as well? So given that it's the same machine from different vendors, which would you prefer? I don't have experience working with either.
Thanks so much for your advice!
