Okay, show me a better vendor, then. HP? Sorry, they're going down the same road, thanks to Carly. IBM? They cost way too much for equivalently configured systems, the last several times we've looked. Gateway? Are they still in business?
Carly is gone, as of a few months ago. We were singing "Ding Dong the witch is dead" in the aisles.
That said, I don't know where to go for server hardware. For consumer, there's dozens of decent whitebox companies. Or put it together yourself- unless you're looking for a cheap email and net machine, you still save a lot of money over HP/Dell/IBM by self building.
