Pfewwww, really. I do believe some people on this list are interested in
high powered & highly reliable systems, backed up by a company who does QA
on each machine that leaves its factory, and every order is built to order
at the factory, and not a lame collection of parts from the Israeli
market.

If this is the case, go DELL. I must say, I have a VERY good experience
with DELL PowerEDGE servers, bot with Linux and x86 Solaris. The service
Dell offers is very good, I am running about 6 machines doing different
tasks for more than a year, flawlessly I must say, under very high CPU and
IO loads.
