I have noticed dell does allot of under the hood engineering so if those are features you use keep them in mind On Aug 21, 2010 11:37 AM, "Brian Cluff" wrote: I was getting mine from Benson IT, formerly Motherboards and Upgrades, they are on Elliot, between Country Club and Mesa Dr. It was only 1/4 mile from workplace, so I could get parts for the machines in way less than 4 hours. Like Michael mentioned they are an OEM product, so if you wanted on sight service, you would need to find a vendor that supplied that. I believe that Benson will do that, but I never opted for the service. What I do know is the SuperMicro machines were often times 1/2 the price of similar dell or hp machines, so you should be able to get a second machine for the same price and set it up to take over in case of failure and not have to worry about needing speedy on site repair services.
