I have noticed dell does allot of under the hood engineering so if those are
features you use keep them in mind

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.
