Experience with IBM Servers

[Jez_Gafys]

Im looking into buy a IMB xSeries 220 Server. The reason this the price (needs double checking) and the specs. So what are your views on IBM servers?


Specs

IBM xSeries 220 PIII
1266Ghz,
128Mb
293.6Gb
48x CD
512Mb Cache (more cache then system ram)
3 Hot Plug Bays

Now comes the Price ....... £1189 .... This is where im not sure

1189 ... for a machine with almost 300Gb Hard Drive and 512Mb Cache!!!???

In the catalog theres a lower spec machine priced at 719 with the same hardrive speaking to the company they claim its not a typo??

These are Ultra160 drives aswell not just some tacky ide things.

So what do you think are these figures incorrect??

thats in my opinion a wicked spec but ask Zeb just to be sure :)

I finally got a proper answer about the cache I knew it was Kb not Mb but the company is still addament that the Hard Disk Space is correct.
