Example Hardware Costs

Single server

• CPU PIII 1G $200 x 2 = $ 400
• 1GIG memory $160 x 1 = $ 160
• 18G SCSI disks $200 x 4 = $ 800
• 2U server case $500 x 1 = $ 500
• Dual PIII MBoard W/2Nic $200 x 1 = $ 200
• Hardware Raid $1000 x 1 = $ 1000
  Total Server cost : = $ 3060

3 servers

• CPU PIII 1G $200 x 6 = $ 1200
• 1GIG memory $160 x 3 = $ 480
• 18G SCSI disks $200 x 12 = $ 2400
• 2U server case $500 x 3 = $ 1500
• Dual PIII MBoard W/2Nic $200 x 3 = $ 600
• Hardware Raid $1000 x 3 = $ 3000
  Total Server cost (3): = $9180

Networking Hardware

• 100 baseT hub/switch = $80

Internet connectivity

• Hig End co-location
• $400 month for 19X12 Rack
• Rack holds 3 servers and hub/switch
• Gives 128K - 512Kbit per second
• Unlimited bursting for spikes
• More traffic, more $money$

Conclusion A very cheap, highly scalable, well supported solution for custom Web application development!
