Supermicro SuperServer 5015M-MT+ (black)

Great price. Easy to setup. Cool temps. I love the little 'air flow' piece that directs air over the cooling block.

I gave it 4 stars because it only accepts DDR2-667 RAM for 1GIG modules. For 2GIG modules one must use DDR2-533.

I've used many supermicro cases in the past. This one is just ad great as the previous ones. The cables were routed perfectly, everything was laid out nice.the included copper heatsink worked great. Temps are low, and the fan control does great...

The disk drive is not a DVD drive. Obviously, server 2008 is a DVD, so I had to connect an external DVD drive for the OS install. that is the only thing I regret about this one. I looked on newegg, and there are a few for about $40-$50 more that do...

Just received it today. This is my first rackmount server, so im pretty pumped to get it running.

Smells funny... :)

Inexpensive, high build quality, heatsink is over-spec - very good, nice color (black), reliable

Warnings, complaints and cons (none are showstoppers):

I've purchased 12 of the 5015-MF's from Newegg and all have been working perfectly, I just picked up 2 of these and they are working perfectly as well.

Only one problem, and a big one.

Superb quality -- Case build, raid trays, I have absolutely no complaints.

I wish you could get this with a DVD burner already installed.

This model is great, because all connections except power are front-mounted.

The CPU fans (two sets of 12000 RPM counter-rotating fans) are extraordinarily loud!

fan noise will kill you.
