Review summary The versatile IBM xSeries 206m comes configured as a low-cost all-in-one server with plenty of room for expansion, or as a moderately priced powerhouse for resource-intensive services. If you want a brand name, you could do a lot worse than the 600SC. But don't count on upgrading the hardware much after you buy. The Net Integrator Mark I is an innovative Linux-based server that's easy enough for newbies. The IBM eServer xSeries 225 is an extremely capable server at a surprisingly reasonable price. Microsoft's Windows Home Server is the best, easiest-to-use answer to backing up and corralling all of the disparate media files in a networked home. And delivered in this petite, relatively affordable MediaSmart Server ex745 from HP, you get plenty of storage in a well-designed hardware package. We recommend this system all the way to anyone looking to take full control of their data.
