Where do you suggest then?  If not Dell, then who?  The former compaq was 
always worse than Dell when it came doing proprietary things.  HP looks to 
be falling into the same trap, nevermind never seeing / hearing about any 
sort of impressive HP hardware (at least that which is x86).  I could 
almost buy supermicro (and have in the past) but in the end they don't 
offer the support Dell can offer if needed (at least in my environment).  
IBM maybe, but they're not the first that comes to mind for department 
server purchases, nevermind the desktop.

So where *should* I be putting my money if not Dell?
