We use supermicro for our email system NFS file server.  It's got redundant
hotswap power supplies, fans and SCSI disk drives.  We use Linux software
RAID 1.

The RAM failed after a couple of months when the box was pretty new, but it has
worked flawlessly for well a year since then.  Note: when the RAM failed, even
though it was ECC RAM, it started returning bad results rather than raising an
ECC error.

After the first failure, we bought a second identical machine, because that
server simply can't go down for long.

It's worked well since then, but if I were going to do it again, I would
probably buy a Dell.
