I Decided On The Used IBM Server

I was looking for a used ibm server online and actually found a new server that was priced lower than a few of the used ibm servers that I had bookmarked to come back to.

I had always heard that you should try to buy used to save money and always get a warranty. Well this new server would be replacing the old pseries servers that I had to take out because they could just not keep up with the demand anymore. I had purchased the pseries servers when my company first started and did not anticipate it taking off like it did.

Now my computer guy is the one who turned me on to switching to a used ibm server because they are easy to fix if they ever have problems. I did not want a server that was so new that my computer guy could not fix it, if it needed repairing at any time in the future.

I decided to go ahead and purchase the used ibm server to replace the pseries servers because this way I know that it can be repaired quickly if I need it to be. I still think that the new server was a good deal but you have to go with your gut and my gut said to go with the used one.
