Cisco UCS C240 M3 server budget build
Just building out the Cisco USC C240 M3 server I have. This in some ways is a great alternative to the Dell Poweredge R720xd server. These aren't as easy to manage and configure as the Dell servers are. I want to play with it s bit and familiarize myself with it. Then I will probably sell it since I decided I prefer my R720.
