[wanted] Some networking gear/tower server for small network

[NB9457]

I'm after some cheapish bits to build a small office network for my uncle, he's lost all his data a few times and they're having to share files using email/pen drives which is hassle, so I've offered to try and help him build a small network in his office.

 

Could do with the following:

-Server with 4GB+ and Dual core+ (preferably a tower unit)

-24 port switch

-Data cab to fit in a switch, patch panel, tower server and power strip

-Patch panel (24 port)

-Colour laser printer (with scanner ideal)

-1 or 2 APs

 

Obviously willing to pay and collect the equipment, so just let me know if you have anything and how much!

 

Thanks!

Have you tried @ICTDirect_Dave

I have a few 3com 2024 switches (10/100)...think we're looking for about £30 (which would include P&P)...may also be a patch panel (Cat5e)...depends on how much more we can pull out of the cabinate.

Are they managed switches?

[featured_spectre]

no, they're not managed, they're a fair few years old as well. They've been replaced here with 1GB switches.

I have some old servers that are going very cheap if you can collect. A small donation will be sufficient. Various Xeon generations, dual processor, some are Netburst and some Core based. 4GB+ RAM, some tower and some rack. Some take SCSI, some take SAS/SATA. All run Server 2008 R2 or 2012 R2 fine.

 

May be able to help with some older Netgear g WAPs, and have some HP Procurve switches going.

 

PM if they're any help.

I have a D-link unmanaged switch in Rochdale next week if you want? Its free if you collect.

[NB9457]

PMd you both!

Have you tried @ICTDirect_Dave

 

Thanks!

 

As it happens I do have something thaty might work

 

How about a Dell T5500?

 

2.26Ghz Quad Core Xeon E5520

12GB RAM PC3-10600R Registered DIMMS

2 x 250GB HDD

DVDRW

Quadro NVS300

2 Years RTB

 

No OS.

 

Bargain at £225 Ex VAT

Depending how many people but would a RAID'd NAS not be a better option and possibly cheaper?

[3s-gtech]

Depends if they want to run an AD too.

[NB9457]

Yeah,most wise it isn't much more to set up a domain and there's a few things that would be useful like file synch, share management, restrictions and maybe in the future remote services

[IanT]

I've got a procurve 2650-48 at home - lite layer 3 switch and a 24 port cat5e patch pancel also

 

let me know.

[Gibbo]

Got some 24 and 48 port Netgear switches (GS724T) here if you're interested and a Dell 3100CN colour printer.

 

Not too far away either if you have transport.

I've got a couple of tower servers, a Dell T300 might be ideal?
