I want to buy a sever that has:

  • Many DIMM slots for memory expansion
  • Many hard drive bays

What are the best options for this? I don't want service warranties, or anything like that...

Post actual numbers for DIMM slots and bays, it will help. – gekkz Jan 24 '10 at 8:13

Plus price target and use case. – phoebus Jan 24 '10 at 9:09

Where? This is a global web site and not all products are available in all locations. Also, what is your definition of "many"? Is it 10, 20, 100, what? – John Gardeniers Jan 24 '10 at 10:19

This question really doesn't give enough information to answer it properly; I suggest you rewrite it, including at least some of the following: - Do you want this server to be rack-mounted? - How many memory slots do you actually mean by "many"? - The same as above for disks. - BTW, what kind of disks? SCSI? SATA? SAS? - What about CPU slots? - What's your price range? - Where are you located in this big, big world? Also, having at least an idea of what the server will be actually used for would really help. – Massimo Jan 24 '10 at 14:56
Agreed. Voted to closed based on not enough information. – TomTom Oct 8 '10 at 10:00

This question is unlikely to ever help any future visitors; it is only relevant to a small geographic area, a specific moment in time, or an extraordinarily narrow situation that is not generally applicable to the worldwide audience of the internet. See the FAQ for guidance on how to improve it.

HP ProLiant DL370 G6 would do the job. Up to 24 drive bays and 18 DIMM slots. Worldwide quickspecs linked here: http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/quickspecs/13242_div/13242_div.html
