So I bought 3 PowerEdge 1850s through an online company I never heard of. They arrived and 3 of the 6 drives did not work... I returned all the systems for fear of what else would fail. I turned around and bought 3 1850s from Overstock... what a difference!!! Outstanding Quality! Better price! Faster Delivery!! Overstock servers are the best thing since Star Wars... ok since Lord of the Rings... hahaha
Would buy more of these if I had the use, wish the raid controller came with it, but overall very satisfied.

- Please tell us about the quality of the product. rceived with minor cosmetic scratches and a slightly bent rack ear.
Good service all round, would have been nice to know in advance about memory upgrade options (happy to fit myself), and that I needed rails (probably normal to everyone else, first rack server I've ever bought). Would buy again
- How did the image on site compare with the actual product? exact match
- Was the product free of any manufacturer defects? So far, seems to be
- Please tell us about the quality of the product. Very clean, missing front plate, but we don't really care about that
I ordered one of these servers to replace my old 386 that I was using for my web hosting. One of the slide rail locks was bent beyond use, but I'm not racking it, so that's not a problem for me. I also wish they would have specified that it uses the ancient SDRAM. Those are my only complaints, overall I am very happy with the server, especially for the price I got it.
- Did the image onsite match the product? Yes
- Was the product free of any manufacturer defects? No
Bought this server for our data center. Excellent product! Planning to purchase more servers from Overstock shortly
