Rackmount servers and desktop pcs

#1 (**permalink**) 09-08-2005, 02:48 AM

What's the main differences between a dedicated rackmount server and a
hi-spec desktop pc? RAM capacity is obvious but are there others?

most servers have larger hubs, and several HDD's running in high RAID levels

The true rackmount server has redundant power supply units, hot-swappable
harddrives, etc.
