I have stumbled upon a few "bargain buys" among servers and am wondering which would be the best deal.
They are all rack mountable
Server number 1
- Rackable Systems
- Refurbished
- Dual Opteron 2ghz
- 120GB hdd
- 4GB Ram
- 1u half depth
- $139.99USD
- Url: Here (geeks.com)
Server number 2 (ebay)
- Rackable Systems
- Dual Xeon 2.8ghz
- 2x 40GB hdd
- 4GB Ram
- 1u
- $170USD
- Url: Here (ebay)
Server number 3 (also ebay)
- IBM
- P4 3ghz
- No hdd (I have a few laying around)
- 2GB Ram
- Cd-rom
- 1u
- $129.95USD
- Url: Here (ebay)
Seeing as I don't know much about values on the parts, which one is the best buy? (My gut is telling me #1) Or if you find a better bargain suggest please.
I can do a network install for #1 or #2 but it is more convenient to do a cd install.
Thanks in advance

Sorry, this was posted a while ago and all of the servers that I listed have been sold out or time ended on ebay. So if one of the links still works than it is linked to a different product by now.
