Bought one of these recently for $500. Insane how cheap they are now.

[adiblasi]

@lyokofans Yes, you got a good deal, especially if it has the RAID 10 and all the extra goodies like mine. Did you do it as an eBay purchase?

[Branhower1]

None of my friends are in the loop, and I tell them to "L" their support and read the dipissnostics panel to them all the time. Awesome!

[adiblasi]

@Branhower1 LOL - YES! So many phrases my crappy videos have indeed contributed to tech/pop culture (ok, used by a small handful, but whatever...); In retrospect, I'm so glad that I filmed this with my cousin Richard. Good times, and a lot of good laughs. One of the drives JUST failed yesterday on that server yesterday -- but no problem. Dell had the part to me within 90 minutes, and a tech was there to install it 3 hours later. No down time and no data loss. Beautiful!

Is the SUX 9000 a real product?

[adiblasi]

@TheMichaelspears No; the reference to "SUX 9000" goes back to the original RoboCop movie. I usually refer to everything as a "SUX 9000" if, off hand while filming, I don't really know the exact model number.

@adiblasi I love DELL and Lenovo service. Although we have 3 IBM x3200m3 servers that have been HELL and can't wait to replace them lol IBM service is just horrible. Love the vids we watch them at work to de-stress. Keep up the awesome work.

I think my Bulldozer PC is more powerful than this but indeed xenon will always be the best for server processor

[lyokofans]

@adiblasi Yes bought it on ebay. It doesn't have all of the goodies, but dual quad cores and 16GB RAM so I can't complain. I assume that you have the PE2900 correct?

Sucks 9000 :L L
