WTB: Any 2-4 year computer equipment you have
-
Richard Olson actually, he's the one who owns Royal Jewlers. I believe he has a brother named Chuck who owns most of the subways in town correct? Anyways, he lives right next to us and approached me while I was in the driveway and offered me a large sum of cash to perform this operation.
But go back to cars he owns a Mercedes SL600, tight ride indeed.

You're a bit vague on your needs here when you say SQL back-office implementation. Are you looking for full file/print services? Going to be running a specific app that requires MSSQL? How many client computers? Why do you need a minimum of 5 server computers to run a web site? What would the Cisco routers be used for? Reading over the info for a 3000 series cisco router it seems you are looking for a VPN solution. I don't know the cost of one of these but if it's like their switches you could build 5 Linux machines to handle VPN traffic for the cost of one Cisco router. If you have the right needs, you could save a bundle of money going with a Linux solution.
Also, I might be able to hook you up with web/email hosting but if you're content with doing it yourself but need some help feel free to visit the FMLug.org site and hit our forums.

The Olsons are LOADED. I haven't seen the SL but can imagine it is unbeleivable. Their family is probably a very good family to associate with. Impress them and you'll be rewarded$ nicely I'm sure.Couple months ago he let me take his brand new Range Rover out on a date with my girlfriend after I sold him roughly $25k in equipment when I was working at Gateway. Also gave me $1500 in cash for doing about 4 hours work one day of just installing equipment at his home ABOVE and beyond the commission I recieved. After what he told me he would get me for this current operation - I jumped right on it.
Anyways for that Cisco 24 port switch, what model, does it have AUI pots on it?

I'll carry the equipment in/be your bitch if you buy me a turbo system

Answer your in relateive sequence here
- I need the routers for a VPN your correct - he owns a couple businesses and wants to manage them from his home - so I will set that up. He does not want to rely off Linux for the VPN solution as he will be using Navision, an MBS product which has tremendous VPN capabilities built in, but I will need a router with AUI/Console ports to setup the protocols.
- Multiple businesses = multiple Apache servers, I could collate them, but with each business he has different personell that will update them with current information such as promotions/inventory that will be linked to there back office.
- File/Print servers is the main reason why I'm looking for a couple barebone computers to just put in Server 2000/2003 and implement active directory
- As stated earlier, Navision REQUIRES MS SQL -
If I could I'd put everything on Linux, but the software already invested is not cheap.
I don't need notebooks guys, I need ATX computer parts. Pref of decent performance as I will be installing Windows Server 2000/2003, the less powerful I will run apache on. I might MIGHT be interested in even AT form factor - give me a PM with what you got.
Overall, I don't think price is the main issue, as I'm GUESSING that he paid well over $100k+ for Navision (even if it's barebone without any EDI, Payroll, HR modules)
Still waiting on the CISCO switch......
EDIT: Just visisted fmlug.org - EXCELLENT Site, I will definately become a regular there!

Why would you buy used computer equipment, when brand new stuff is so cheap?

UPDATE any used KVM switches out there too? Just out of curiousity.

why dont you just make a trip to them 2nd rate computer stores like PC hurtz or computer renasance(nfi how to spell that)...they'll be glad to hook u up with something cheap from their junkyard. ive looked in the back rooms and they got stuff stockpiled so you probably can't go wrong there...plus they cut u pretty good deals

PChertz = former employee and I hate them - they won't be around much longer.
I've already checked out some other stores around here, and found a few parts already at pcparts and supplies. I also bidded on some equipment from Fargo school network. Like I said I've done this before, so instead of posting on the thread, keep it relative, if you have the equipment post, if not, don't.

It was just advice you asshole. Not like i fucking knew you worked with people from PC hertz geez. like amicheze said, you can find stuff for free, but lemme guess you already thought up that idea right.
-
I apologize STISchucky, I didn't mean it directed completely towards you the quote was in mere referance to the ideas you pointed out. Nor did I expect you to know my previous employer background, I just need to find the parts, and want the thread kind of clean with people who reply on topic to the parts I asked for.
I appreciate the input though.
98exaccord: it won't pay off, this is equipment that will be setup and probally never touched again. The cheaper the better - cuz in quite honesty the less underbudget I go, the more I get paid this is the way the IT world works sometimes. It's just balancing reliability/stability with cost effectiveness.
-
i dont understand how that wasn't on topic but ok.
-
damn it all, my post never made it.
In summary, I've never heard of Navision but I use Great Plains which requires MSSQL and I run it on Windows Server 2003 which is the first MS server I've gained trust in.
For a simple cheap KVM that works good try:
