[plug][OT] Who's a Good Hardware Supplier in Perth?

[Shannon Carver]

Yea I guess it depends on wether you want to get it all from the one
shop or not.  As stated before you could:

- visit a site like staticice, and buy from shops all around the
Metropolitan area for the best price on each component (Very annoying,
impractical if used in a corporate environment)

- Buy an all in one server from a supplier like Dell, HP, IBM, etc etc.
(Expensive, but guaranteed of quality/warranty, support)

- Buy the parts you want from the one distributor or wholesaler (heaps
of options round perth, Netplus, DMA, EdSys just to mention a few)

All three options, nowadays should get you just the hardware without the
need to buy the software on top.  As far as I can see it, the days of
forced OS purchases with machines are all but over.  This is especially
apparent with laptops now shipping without Windows, and coming either
barebones or with a linux flavour (think HP Laptops with SuSE)

I want to purchase some Hardware specifically to use for a Linux server

I don't need a Keyboard, Mouse, Monitor, Sound Card, Modem, OS
installed,
software, etc

I do need 2 x network connections, 2 x 300Gb HD, 1Gb RAM, 64Bit CPU
(Intel
or
AMD) and matching mother board, DVD-Rom. I can build Hardware myself I
would
rather not, but I do want to install and configure the OS (64 Bit
Debian)
myself.

Can any one recommend a good hardware supplier, who uses quality
components,
who can built to an exact spec, and who has no probs in supplying
hardware
without any software installed.

Regards,

James
