Dell Vostro 1000

Bought these laptops at a very cheap price. I bought 3 of them at RM1400 per piece. They were AMD laptops with dual core processors. It was pretty full-spec'ed for a laptop. It came with the bare necessities, such as a DVD-RW and wireless. This is a very basic laptop, good for surfing the net, watching movies and burning media and all. I resold them to the staff at the same price, so that they get motivated at buying cheap things and hopefully they will do their work better in my dad's company.

Terry's New Toy

This is Terry's new toy, that just arrived not long ago from Penang. Since Penang is in a trip, I started up the laptop on behalf of him. Below are the pictures when I unboxed the laptop. This laptop has one of the highest specs around. It spots a Intel Core 2 Duo, T7250 processor, with 3GB RAM, DVD writer, 160GB Hard drive, wireless-n network adapter, webcam, thumbprint reader, Windows Vista Business with Windows XP Professional Downgrade rights and Microsoft Office SBE 2007 in a 12" shell. This absolutely good value laptop retails for RM2500. Check out the pictures.

Dell Poweredge T100 Server with Windows Server 2003

A package arrived at the door of my Dad's office. I am one of the lucky fellows from the 100 people that bought this server with a freebie. What freebie? An original Windows 2003 Server SBE edition. Best part of it, its genuine. It should fend out any raids from the Business Software Alliance (BSA). I plugged the server and the server boots up and says, Pentium Xeon Dual Core 3.00ghz. 2GB RAM with ECC. It's a sweet deal that I bought for RM2190. It comes with RAID 1, so it automatically backs up the data into a secondary hard drive. This will help us in long term as computer data hardly retains, after the hard drive dies.

The Windows Server 2003 is a complex operating system. Its really an operating system for a webmaster and administrator. I almost forgot the password and almost have an entire system lockdown. Thank god I remembered after digging my head hard. Anyways, for this price, I know you can buy a better desktop. However, it will not perform as well as a dedicated servers.
