Best Xserve Deals
2009.07.02
Lots of power in very little space - that's Apple's Xserve, which is making big inroads in the server market. You can buy it with one or dual quad-core (8 cores) 2.8 GHz Intel Xeon CPUs or dual quad-core (8 cores) 3.0 GHz one, and it includes 1 GB of memory, an 80 GB hard drive, a Combo drive, and an unlimited user license for Mac OS X 10.5 Server. For storage, Apple's Xserve RAID offers from 1 TB to 7 TB.
Earlier Xserves were built around single or dual G4 and G5 CPUs. Used equipment usually carries a 90 day warranty and should include an unlimited user version of Mac OS X Server.
Apple has discontinued the Xserve RAID line of storage devices.

Listings note RAM/hard drive size. Every Xserve ships with a 16x dual-layer SuperDrive. Be sure to factor in shipping costs and possible sales tax. Your best value depends on whether you need/want a printer, extra RAM, etc.
Our advice: If you plan on upgrading RAM, do it yourself. And if you plan on installing a larger hard drive, order your Xserve with the least expensive hard drive Apple offers (currenty 250 MB) and do it yourself.
Unless otherwise noted, there is no surcharge for credit card purchases, and shipping is not included. Vendors are listed in alphabetical order. Be sure to visit their sites for full details.
