We use Dimensions at work to. Feddle Gummint buys a lot of 'em. The Optiplex's were just the next step up. I had one that I ran 24/7 for years at work. Only problems with it were caused by Winbloze. All my servers at work are either Solaris, Redhat Linux, or HP/Compaq/DEC Unix (or whatever the hell they call it now).
