We buy Optiplexes. I don't know why we don't look at other vendors but
the GX280's have some serious cap issues. There has been a Dell guy
here everyday for the past 2 months switching out MB's.

Are you buying Optiplexes or Dimensions?

Ben,
We have been with Dell for a long time at the company I work for.
They do indeed send the cd's you speak of with every system. Roxio
or Sonic they are all in there. However, if this guy is not willing
to help you then there is nothing more you can do.

Right. I've actually been been building barebones servers at work
for a while now.
The thing that was nice about buying the Dell boxes was the
warranty. With a barebones you have to track warranties on a bunch
of components, vs. a Dell which has 2 years on everything....

I've always thought it better to buy the best "clone" components,
and build it myself. Now MWave builds most of it for you:
