    All,

    I am thinking about purchasing a Dell PowerEdge 700
    server and loadinf SBS 2003 Standard. The Client three
    computers (peer -to-peer workgroup), network printer,
    Peachtree accounting software, MS office suite. Wants
    Sharepoint (Remote work place) and host exchange. Pretty
    basic stuff.

    Anyways, What have been you guys experience with running
    SBS 2003 on the PowerEdge 700? The configuration I am
    looking at is; 2.8 P4 processor, 1GB Ram, 2 mirrored 80
    GB drives (on board SATA Controller), No tape drive
    (using usb external tape drive and native win 2003 back
    up software). Two NIC's. I am debating whether to have
    Dell pre install the OS, or I install it myself (I perfer
    myself, but with them installing, I will not have to
    fight with driver issues....) Oh, no mointor, keyboard,
    mouse.

    Thoughts? I am not totally stuck on Dell, If you can
    think of a more cost consious solution, I am open to
    whatever you guys recommend.

    I am trying to get a hardware, software both around
    $1800.00.

    Thanks in advance for your suggestion/comments!

    Larry
