Overview

» Enlarge

The good:
  • Dual- or quad-core Xeon processors
  • Up to 32GB of memory
  • Six hot-swap disks
  • Choice of SATA or SAS interface
  • Optional RAID
  • PCI Express expansion slots
The bad:
  • Noisy when all ten cooling fans are running
  • Operating system and optical drive not included in price
The bottomline:

Acer has taken standard Intel OEM components to put together a highly configurable and very scalable 1U server, capable of handling a variety of tasks. It's more than a match for similar products from the big-name vendors.
