Dell Servers

How likely is this deal to come up again?

Expires Tonight! DellSB - PowerEdge 400SC Server with i875P Chipset, Hyperthreaded 2.4Ghz 800Mhz FSB Pentium 4, 128MB DDR, 40GB HD, and AGP Slot for $399 with FREE Shipping! (Posted by: Apex)
The PowerEdge 400SC is an Intel i875P chipset based server with an AGP slot. This means you can pretty easily turn it into a gaming, multimedia, or graphics workstation. I have one and I love it (Leon does too). It is compatible with 533Mhz and 800Mhz processors (hyperthreaded too), there`s built in 2 channel S-ATA, there are 6 USB 2.0 ports, there`s built in 10/100/1000 ethernet, 4 PCI slots (with both 5.0v and 3.3v universal support), ADI 198x audio, and loads of other features. The AGP and audio are not "officially" supported by Dell, but they work, and I`ve tried both. This is an incredible value at just $399 with free shipping. This deal expires tonight (9/17/03) though. Here`s what you do:

Should have got in on it when it was avaliable. If anyone knows of any server deals coming soon let me know. I am looking for server with the AGP and audio. Anyone know how many pci slots this bad boy has and whether a pci sound card can be used. (Sound Blaster Live)

Thanks,

Zen

This deal comes up all the time. I'm kicking myself for missing out on the one w/the free processor upgrade to a 3.2GHz for the same price. That one does NOT come up all the time!

I don't remember who posted this link here before, so props to them whoever they are, but here is a nice FAQ about this particular machine.

I did buy the system (with CPU upgrade). I dropped a SB Audigy into it with no problem. I don;t have a lot of PCI devices but I think it has 5 pCI slots.

Damn I wish this would just go down the 100 bucks again so I can use my 15% coupon on it. Right now the celeron processer is the 399 price and its 499 for the 2.4 mhz.
