> I run heaps off Dell PowerEdge 1550, 1650, 1750 and 1850 without issues.
FWIW I also run a pile of dell 650, 750, 1650, 1750 machines
with good success. I use the ami builtin for raid on the 1650 and 1750
with good success running i386. 650's and 750's are ide only.
I don't have an 1850 because by the time they came out,
Dell didn't have an amd64 based server, and Sun and IBM did, so we
switched. Prior to that I bought lots of dell stuff and had good
experiences with them. (still do with their disk and raid). If you
don't care about amd64 (which we do, because it has significant
performance and security implications in the future) they are
a very good choice.
It's unfortunate Dell is so far in bed with Intel that
they will never ship an amd64 machine. I'd love to buy a bunch
from them :)
