PC and Macs, on the roll

I’m tired as heaps of PCs and Macs have arrived this day. We have to carry them from the door as the pallet can’t fit right through it. It was just ok until the number of trips plus the weight just made things harder for us, making my back and my arms kind of sore.

Anyway, all went better as I unpacked the servers. The Acer Altos was just ok, powerful enough to get the domain running. We’ll be installing Windows Server 2003 R2 or Server 2008 to it as we really have to work with the changes we have made on the old server which has been running for almost 5 years. The Mac Server was no doubt, sexy. You can really feel that it was made with so much “love” and way too pricey. The Acer Altos just went cheap and ugly when it was placed on Mac’s side. I guess, the production line didn’t even care about its look. The front case was a cheap plastic with some “excess” plastic on its edges. But anyway, we could always hide it under the table or behind the rack. Hehe

The 2 will be integrated with Active/Open Directory as we’ll be retaining the users’ windows domain accounts. I just can’t wait on how things will be rolling out especially at the Media and Music class.
