Does anyone have experience with Thinkmate, and in particular, the
VSX line? If the later, is it really quiet. I run Centos on four
machines now, three of which are Dells, and I'm hoping to do
better. The Dell T5400 is close to what I want, but I get more for
less from Thinkpad -- at least on paper.
No experience with Thinkmate, or, knowledge of them, but 4 of the 5
computers in this room are Dell's. If Thinkmate is a long
established company, with an excellent reputation, buy from them. If
not, Dell will be around, to support your T5400, for a long time.
Indeed.
But before I spent that much money on a PC, I'd want to *see* it and
hear it. In reality.
Anybody can claim to manufacture a "virtually silent" workstation.
Too bad, Apple is the only vendor that has stores and all models on
display (at least, for desktops - but for a server, noise isn't
relevant anyway).
How much is the price difference actually?
