So the only opinions welcome here are pro-whitebox anti-Dell rants?
You want a crappy Dell story? Look at my blog - http://www.benruset.com
- Dell sent me a new laptop to replace the absolute fucking lemon they
sent me 9 months ago. But, at least they sent me a new laptop.

I needed to buy two Opteron capable servers with PCI slots. I finally
found one that had both PCI-X and PCI. It was an Asus.
So when we got it in, I noticed that it only came with a PCI-X riser.
I went back and forth with Asus "support" who finally gave up and said
that they had no part # for a PCI riser card. We had to communicate
through email because I could not, for the life of me, understand him
through his Asian accent.
After much trial and error I finally found some guy on the internet
who had risers that worked with those servers.
That's my pretty crappy whitebox support story. And the whitebox
itself (no processors, drives, or RAM) was $1000+.

I'm not blindly anti-dell, my eyes are wide open. Not all home brew
PC's are quality, I would say for the most part they are. You won't
get me to swear on anything or deal in absolutes except to say Dell
sucks.
