While we’re on the subject of Dell Bashing, let’s bash a little more. In their great wisdom Dell decided to market a $2000 plus 1u server that no longer has cable management arms. the 1750 had them, but the 1850 does not. What’s up with that? Apparently I’m not alone in my criticism.
If you are one of those sick wierdo net admin types like me who like a clean datacenter, you must go thirdparty for your 1850 rack mount kit. Or you could go HP. Racksolutions.com has come up with a decent solution that has the arms, but is not a simple click in like the rapid rails. I guess one can’t have everything.
Photos of the installed server are here. We have used these for 5 1850’s so far and they work fine. Plus a bit cheaper than the Dell Solution (without arms).
And that’s a whole other rant. The retail price for the rapid rail kit is $159. I’m sorry but $159 for two pieces of shaped metal? That’s obscene. Anyone with a machine shop want to fix this?

I had the opportunity to rent a free game at BlockBuster and I grabed this. At first it was a little hard to get into, but this game is addictive.
You play Sir Daniel Fortesque, a profesional soldier in real life (though his duties were mainly ceremonial).
Your skeleton rather is brought back to life to fight the evil Zarok. It’s fun, it’s witty and the game play is reasonable. The puzzles aren’t all that difficult, but some of the levels are, it’s a blast. The game is full of Monty Pythonesque humor and one liners.
The game is very well done with great background music and commentary to go along with it.
I think this is a keeper.
The game has a great site here MediEvil Resurrection
