Dell PowerEdge 830 : Review

Quote: Introducing Dell’s range of performance pedestal servers, the latest PowerEdge 830 is aimed at a wide range of applications including remote offices and workgroups, or small businesses looking for their first server but with a bit more power on tap. It brings in support for Intel’s Pentium D processor which offers the bonus of dual-core processing but at a similar price to standard Pentium 4 based systems. As we’ve come to expect from Dell the 830 is very well built. Its solid steel chassis looks up to the job of small office duties and physical security is better than most as the front panel can be key locked which also blocks access to the side panel thumbscrew. Removing the side panel reveals a reasonably tidy interior although it’s not as clean as Armari’s DC945G Server. The loose IDE and power cables do increase internal clutter but we found access to all key components was generally unimpeded.
