Outlet now has servers!

#1 Post by ThinkRob » Wed Nov 02, 2011 10:06 pm

Whoa. Yeah, see the topic title.

Some nice ones too. Some of Lenovo's server line are basically IBM System x machines w/ a new case design and a different pricing structure, and all of them are decently-priced for x86 iron. (Yep, you read that right: Lenovo licenses System x designs from IBM, something of a role reversal from past years.)

Anyways, the outlet has them, and not at a bad price. If only they'd done this about 3 months ago, I'd have some new Lenovo servers...

whoa the server on the outlet site is really cheap. But Australia don't get them that cheap.

Luckily i got a BladeCenter S from a guy brand new for 1000 AUD.

Looks like we weren't the only ones who thought so.

There were 7 when I posted. (I surmise from the above) that there was one when you looked.

Now there are none.

:D
