what u gonna be doing on that server? is it a file server? does it host apps?

it will be a file server and will most likely hold apps. we have some central apps to our business that we want in one spot that will always be up to date.

yeah, so far i'm leaning towards dell. we get the business discount and microsoft has some small business loan type deal where we can basically spread the expenses over a long period of time. i forget the exact details but its pretty nice.
I was thinking about calling the smal business line but want to havea better idea of what we need first so i dont get oversold stuff we dont need.
