    Looking for some advice here. I am currently running on Pentium Pro
    200, server that I purchased from the cheapest mail order house I could
    find. (Have been running on this for over a year with no problems) A consultant told me that I need to put in a Compaq server that is going
    to cost me over $10,000, if I want true reliability. Being cost
    conscious, I am hesitant to spend that kind of money. I was wondering
    if there is any way that I can put in another CHEAP server, and mirror
    the drives over the network, so if one server goes down, I can easily (relatively easily) switch to the other. I have 7 PCs on my LAN, not counting my server. I figure, I can buy several nice (nice in terms of memory, processor and features) servers (at least two) for what I would
    pay for the one Compaq.

    I host my own e-mail and will be hosting a web-site soon. Should I not
    be a cheap skate and go for the server that has the best reliability???

    Any comments would be greatly appreciated.
