The only negative thing I hear these days is that Dell's support sucks.  The 
last several customers I have visited have told be they will never by Dell 
again.

  I really dont think any brand offers anything the next one does'nt.

  Its more important to think "big picture", and have one brand/supplier to 
ease what management software you have to learn/monitor, have one support 
organization to call when needed and so on. Having 9 different brands depending 
on whats hot when you bought it will never pay off.

  I have use IBM for all hardware, but i cant figure out any technical reason 
to use them over HP or Dell. Same shit, different wrapping.

  Emne: [THIN] (OT)Advice to buy new server



  Hi all, 

  I'm looking for a new server to run separated applications from our farm, 
such a Compleo, label printing software and also print server and others... 
  Our servers in the farm are Proliant in a rack system. 
  We're happy with them, but the new server I don't need to integrate in a 
rack... 
  Could you pls. give to me any models that you are happy and have a good 
performance to do this tasks? 
  Such as Xseries or Hp/compaq servers... 

  Thanks a lot.
