    Depends what you plan to do. There isn't really enough information here to make a judgement. You'd need to know

    1. Software or hardware raid? If hardware, what controller are they using? Does it have battery backup?
    2. What's the CPU type? Intel/AMD? What version - 3400 range, 5400 range, 5600 range?
    3. What type of RAM - DDR2, DDR3 (can't be that)? ECC-R or standard?
    4. What motherboard are they using?
    5. Drive Specification? Type & Model number. Some cheaper SATA drives are not good for fast RAID set-ups.
    6. What is the function of the server? If there will be a DB or Email server installed then RAID 1 is not a good choice due to the requirements for fast Write. RAID1 is fine for web sites.
    7. 8GB of ram is fine for a medium-busy server but it depends on operating system and other software installed. If you're installing web sites and a DB, try to get more RAM.

    It all comes down to detail, and your planned use.

    What is the price for that Server?

    Moreover, it should be time-tested company cos you need to be confident in their reliability.

    Ya those specs are ok, but again it depends on the price. How much are you paying for it?

    Is this per month? If it is then its not that bad, thats pretty much the average cost of a system like that, but you should look around you might be able to get it for around 30$ less somewhere else.
