Bought Two Used Poweredge Servers
The used servers that were for sale in the computer shop were really cheap. I was afraid to buy any of them though since they were used. I talked with the gentleman who was working at the store and asked him which of the servers he would recommend and he told me that he had luck with the used poweredge servers in the past.
I wanted some sort of guarantee and the guy at the store agreed to a full ninety day warranty on the used poweredge servers and I got them for about sixty percent less than what I would have paid for new ones. Of course, with new ones I would have probably a three or four year warranty.
I called my computer technician as I was driving away from the computer shop and told him that I would like him to help me with the installation of the used servers. He agreed to help me on the following day. I wanted to be involved with the installation of the used servers so that I might be able to fix them when they went down. I have always had to call my computer guy and depending on how busy he is, it can take a few days to get to them and the wait and time down, costs money.
