FYI: Last company I worked for, we had 4 compaq servers, and we never had
any hardware problems at all with them - very quick, very stable...

:> Just an FYI:
:> I am running a Compaq Proliant ML350. I love it. VERY
:> stable. I opted not to
:> go hot-plug. Not that critical and saved a few hundred dollars. My
:> experience with Dell is Good Workstations (like a clone
:> really) Fair to Poor
:> Servers (like a clone really). I am not a Compaq advocate,
:> though I am
:> leaning that way on the server side. They good management
:> and monitoring
:> tools. I am running WinNT 4.0, IIS 4.0, SQL Server 7.0, CF 4.51ish,
:> ActivePerl and Pegasus mail server (for MAPI stuff) some
:> other stuff. I use
:> Veritas BackupExec 8.0 and a DLT 12/24 (moving to AIT II
:> 25/50 mb). The site
:> gets about 500,000 sessions per month. It serves general web
:> content and
:> also hosts some of our other systems. Hope this helps.
