Wow - that *is* a great price. I don't have any of this particular
box in production, but I do have 2 PowerEdge SC440s (one step up from
the T105) running asterisk along with Sangoma PRI cards. They're
working great. I really only have two issues with these low-end
servers:
1. You can't order 'em with RAID support. I'm getting around this by
using software RAID1 in linux, but I'd much prefer having a hardware
RAID controller.
2. The Dell DRAC remote management cards aren't compatible with these
low-end server motherboards. I've become *completely* addicted to the
DRAC cards on the high-end PowerEdges, to the point that I now refuse
to order a server without a DRAC card.
That said, I'm sure this server would run a small/medium asterisk
install just fine.
