Let's Say you need a FTP Server in a Non critical enviroment.
You need about 30 GB and you don't want to lose anything if one HDD break.

Let's GO:
Read the Introduction of the server so you can se that it adapts to you enviroment.
Ex:
Introduction:
                            It's main purpuse is not to run in a critical enviroment, due to it's PSU not support Hot Swap.
                            This Small Server can have Hot Swap on 4 HD's depending on if you need the cdrom.
                            If this Servers hardware like PSU och HD breaks you will need to shutdown.

Read The Main Configuration if you are a Hardware guy, if not? DON'T!!!
Read the Main Price.
Ex: MAIN PRICE: 10500 SKR
This is the Basic price.

Now its time for you to think off how much RAM and how many CPU you need.
Let's say 256MB and One Cpu.
Then Read the Matrix:
Ex:

For CPU'S,MEMORY,EXTRA SCSI Drive ADD:
 
PRICE TO ADD 128MB PC100 256MB PC100 512MB PC100 1GB PC100 128MB ECC 256MB ECC 512MB ECC 1GB    ECC
1 CPU PII 450 7600 Skr 9400 Skr 13000 Skr 21800 Skr 9940 Skr 14080 Skr 22360 Skr 42600 Skr
2 CPU 
PII 450
13400 Skr 15200 Skr 18800 Skr 27600 Skr 15740 Skr 19880 Skr 28160 Skr 48400 Skr
 

The RED text tells you the price to add.

Now its time for HDD.
You needed 30GB and Safe, That means RAID 2?.
30/18=1.666 equ 2 + one parity HDD => 3 HDD's
30/9= 3.33 equ 4 + one parity HDD => 4 HDD'S

What should you use?
What is importent for you? Price or beable to uppgrade ALOT?
Vell look at the matrix.

 IBM cost's less than Quatnum.
Let's say you like IBM and price is important, then IBM 9BG 4 HDD for 20800 Skr is the way to go.
 

The PRICE for The Small Server is then 10500 + 9400 + 20800 = 40700 Skr Plus VAT
