Hello,
So, I built my Dad a server about 6 or 7 years ago for his business. It's been running 24 hours a day since then, and it just died. So, he needs a replacement, and he needs it as of 4PM CST today.
I'm so not into computers anymore (Moved onto simpler pleasures- i.e. WWing), and I have no idea what's out there that would be suitable.
So- can one of you kind souls with IT knowledge as far as what would be suitable for a server tell me what you'd reccomend from a Target or Best Buy, or Sam's Club/ Walmart? He's in GB, Wisconsin, and the only boutique shop that I know of is kinda rude- and says it'll be 6 business days. His business con't run without the server, so that just won't do.
Or- does he really need to look into getting a rush box from Dell? He has all of the software, and is on a budget (tight economic times), so he's looking for something basic. No Big Blue needed here.
Thanks guys, I really appreciate any help you could give. I'm looking myself right now, but I just don't know what's out there. I have no idea what Intel's got, and how they compare.
Thanks again!
