Can you do that? Has Compaq stopped putting half their "BIOS" in a small hidden partition? Some years ago at work, we got a Compaq server for use as a linux server. It came with NT4. So the CS guys blew away the partitions, and installed RedHat7.0. The thing would not boot.
Yes, he can do that. I've installed Gentoo on the PowerEdge 2650, 2860, 6500, 1650, 1750, and 420SC boxes with no problem whatsoever. Usually I get the Dell boxes with the smallest hard drives they ship and buy my own larger drives aftermarket. Aside from a "WTF kernel module do I use for this RAID card?" questions, I've never had any problem.
