This is getting OT and you are going to end up spending more on redundancy then if you just called Dell and ordered another computer.
I agree with you in that it's cheaper to buy another home computer than to design a system with redundancy. However that new conputer I would order from Dell probabally would not have the redundancy I need in a a workstation, and I would just end up back where I started anyway.
I think you missed my point. If workstation A fails, call Dell and have another one overnighted, or call Dell today and order a second workstation to have as a backup or act as a secondary workstation.
Their Vostros line is cheap (in appearance, components and price), but is functional, performs well and did I say cheap already, so you can get 2 for the price of 1 highly redundant system.
Ah I got it now thanks.
Does the Vostros come with either a bare metal restore tape backup system or RAID ( which is required for my situation)? _________________________________________________________________ Climb to the top of the charts!
