An example of such a device is one of the SCSI host adapters on systems based on the Intel S450NX motherboard, such as the Gateway ALR 9200.

If a competitor is has cheaper/more stable/more flexible/less obtrusive software, then they will be able to provide better service/improve their margins/undercut you.

These are all important competitive advantages although many small businesses manage to struggle on regardless of how competent their proprietors may be by sacrificing themselves to their cause (or cheating). So overcoming the inertia wont happen overnight, but it will happen.

That PSU is an EPS 12V (24+8pin) ATX type PSU. They do not make this exact model these days, but any EPS 12V (24+8pin) ATX type PSU should work with this motherboard. Whatever you get, do not skimp on the quality of the PSU for your server.
