Subject: How long to get a server?

So how long does it take to get a server after you order one?  I ordered two 
servers (nothing special) from Dell for a small business that I am supporting.  
Rep said it would take 7-14 days max to build and would then overnight the 
servers to me.  That was a month and a half ago.  We have got 4 notices that 
the servers have been delayed.....  At this point they are 1 month late and we 
just got another delayed notice.

Just checking to see if this is within what you all would consider a acceptable 
time frame for getting a servers.   I have recently started on a Disaster 
Recovery plan that if our building should burn down or servers get stolen that 
we would order new ones from Dell, however if the business was down for a month 
and a half while we were waiting for servers I would be out of a job......   
Going to have to rethink the DR plan for servers as I guess getting new ones in 
a day or two is out of the question

I wander if I would get faster service if I was an Enterprise size company 
instead of an SMB

Thanks

Matt
