I believe it has windows server 2004. It company who handles our email and website it was pretty much trash ( however most of the time they say one thing and i discover something else)
As far as budget were in the ballpark of 15,000 - 20,000.
I wasn't really expecting to be able to repurposed the machine except for the case. I was hoping to be able to but pretty sure its to old.
i bought an Alienware 17R5 from dell and im very disappointed with the product as well as the service and ive had some pretty bad experiences with dell. Id rather build the machine as apposed to buying direct and re-routing the savings to hardware.
I usually get my parts from Micro center in Tustin. However for servers im not sure what parts to get. For example, can i just make a machine with high cores and 3.0 clock and just load windows server? Or dose it have to be a dedicated server board and processor..
