    CNET Review

    January 10, 2006

    The Good: For a low-cost server, the IBM xSeries 206m offers lots of enterprise-level tools and options, a wide range of hardware choices, and plenty of room for expansion.

    The Bad: The IBM xSeries 206m lacks setup guides for network services such as shared printers or directories.

    The Bottom Line: 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.
