I dont really need 2 monitors attached to my system full time, nor do i have desk space. A small LCD that is 10 or 12 inches could be usefull as a secondary monitor for keeping status of my server(s), game server while i'm gaming, monitoring email up, system perfromance and so on. While not being used as a secondary display it could act as a stand alone photo frame, maybe even have a wall mount. Low profile, solid state servers Servers and Storage, Small Business, Simplify IT submitted by arbitraryconstant 3:20pm
We've had great success with lower profile servers internally and with clients. Some examples of OEMs that sell these machines: Dell Computers with e-sata ports Servers and Storage, Desktops and Laptops submitted by chasrome Jun 13 Dell needs to supply and announce the availability of desktop, notebook, and servers with e-sata ports to which the many available external drives can be attached. RAID (0 and 1) could be available especially for servers. The ports should support six foot cables (not just three foot). Comment » Re-think & redesign rack-mount methods Servers and Storage submitted by phubert Jun 25
A recent suggestion called for improvement of the "cable management" arms for rack-mount servers. Servers and Storage submitted by plafay Jun 16
Hello, Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Servers and Storage submitted by retro77 Jun 24
The cable arms on the servers are very loose, they hang down instead of flat. Also they build up a lot heat, impeding airflow out the back of the rack. Power Connect Feature request, two easy features Servers and Storage submitted by andrewc Jun 27
Two features for command line operation Add an SSD HD option to all notebooks configurations Servers and Storage, Laptops submitted by solostian 07/06/07 **PARTIALLY IMPLEMENTED**
As notebook mobility is becoming more and more important, battery autonomy and NOT available disk space is becoming a major decisive factor. Offer Solid State Hard Drive with more Capacity and lower price Servers and Storage, Desktops and Laptops submitted by nsenman May 16 I think solid state drives are way too overpriced and not large enough for the amount of storage people need now a days. People would love to have the 100+ GB of storage Hard Drives along with a less expensive price, comparable to the current SATA. 3 Comments » Promote Windows Home Server Bigtime Servers and Storage submitted by gcreese 02/17/07
Microsoft is coming out with Windows Home Server this year, which will allow households to backup and manage their house PCs from a single spot. At this point, a lot of households are in this situation (e.g., with two adults and a child, we have three laptops, a desktop, and three PDAs). Get out in front of the curve on this one (HP made its announcement at the CES Show), talk about it, promote the fact that you will offer it, and in the vein of the other "make the website easier to use" suggestions, explain how Windows Home Server is something to consider for a family going digital.

I think Dell should design more rounded and smoother chassis for their desktops/notebooks/servers. That's the impression I get from Apple chassis designs and all their stuff when I see them. Some Dell designs are ok, but they look a bit old. Look at iMac/iPOD/iPhone - they all follow the same style of design. It looks nice when we see them. And probably that's their biggest differential when customer are "eye-choosing" a computer/acessory. "Hot Swap Hard Drive" for both the Inspiron & XPS series Inspiron products, Servers and Storage, XPS products submitted by hal2001 Apr 17 It saves data, time, headaches and work. I have been using a Hot Swap HD in my jobsite computer for over two years and it's a lifesaver. Store drive off-site in a safe location and you can still save on-line w/ the Dell DataSafe program or others if you care to. My job site will not allow on-line storgage. I'm not a personal fan club member of on-line storgage either, encrypted or not it's still on someone Server. I want my Data backup as close to 100% safe as possible. 1 Comment » Offer the new Maxtor/Sentry fire and waterproof hard drive Servers and Storage submitted by sugarbear 11/15/07 Maxtor and Sentry have introduced a new hard drive. Check it out www.democratandchronicle.com:80/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20071115/business/... 2 Comments » This 1 watt (1/10 watt when Idle) CPU does look interesting. Environment, Servers and Storage submitted by jmxz 08/26/07
Yes, I know all the other VIA CPU ideas seem to be voted down, but this 1-watt (1/10 watt when idle) 500MHz CPU looks very promising. VIA also apparently has the most power-efficient motherboard. =================================================== Dell - please stay focused on the highest-voted ideas, though. Don't distract yourselves with this one until you've addressed these ideas which have been the top-ranked ideas for many months without adequate responses..
Accessories (Keyboards, etc.), Servers and Storage, Desktops and Laptops submitted by johnmc May 27 I'd like to see Dell offer a laptop, designed for mobile business. Specifically one with a built in "signature pad" so that a form could be designed in Microsoft Word or even better in Infopath and the client could sign using a stylus on the laptop itself. Forms could be created entirely on the laptop in the field from templates, signed in the field and then printed on a mobile printer, with a copy given to the client and an electronic signed copy synchronized as soon as they return to the office. I realize that a tablet pc can do this now, but this would be a more simple and effective way to fill out the forms, most supermarkets have a signature pad that almost everyone is familiar with, an area on the laptop with a signature block should not be that hard to build in. Other features should include wireless, solid state memory hard drive, and the built in lighting like some of the other "rugged" models, and the availability of a port replicator or docking station. Also I'd like to see a docking station with a built in external hard drive so that while in the car you could create a backup of the laptop for emergency recovery in case the laptop itself gets stolen or damaged, at least you would not have lost files. 1 Comment » Linux, Operating Systems, Servers and Storage submitted by xgregx 05/07/07
I'm very happy the Dell is finally offering Linux, but this article on I saw slashdot worries me. New Product Ideas, Servers and Storage submitted by badblood Feb 13
Dell should make a great big stand-alone hard drive, that includes USB and firewire inputs/outputs, s-Video, SD slots, bluetooth, etc. It should have a small OLED display on the front, inbuilt software and controls so you can manage file transfers, backups, multi-media, etc without having to plug it into a computer. Servers and Storage, Small Business, Simplify IT submitted by jmuzic1 02/19/07 When I worked as a lowly help desk lackey, I always dreaded the usual provisioning of a new computer for an employee. I always thought it would be a great idea if Dell would allow customers (mostly corporate customers in this case) upload a system image to the Dell website which would be used in provisioning new systems under specific buying accounts. Instead of loading the hard drive full of stuff that will just be erased by the company, allow Dell to provision the hard drive with a customer-supplied base image that would allow a computer to immediately be placed on a new employee's desk after being unwrapped. 3 Comments » Professional Studio Grade SILENT Fanless PC Cases Servers and Storage, Precision Workstations submitted by reg 03/27/07
