The price is a little high $1800-2000 would be about right as HP is
now enforcing the non-transferable clause in their warranty so make
sure the unit has no history or registered owner BEFORE buying and if
it does pay accordingly. As far as the poor guy who bought the Dell ,
well the DL380 has a duty cycle you can run a data center on , you
Dell is nothing more than a bloated desktop. Try this, tell Dell
support (when you finally get through) that your drive is showing up
as failed in the NOS and on the drive itself on your RAID 5
configuration on your 911 SQL server . First of all the dick will tell
you to try reseating the failed drive running a very good chace of
destroying your data and secondly the "tech" will not even remind you
to back you data up. HP will just ship you a drive (unless you have
multiple failures) . You know why ??? Because Dell does not make real
servers and the people who trained the techs know that none of their
customers will put a mission critical app on their crappy equipment
anyways

You're comparing a low end POS desktop against a rack mounted server with
10K RPM SCSI drives, RAID, etc.....

I didn't see a smiley face, but you are joking, right?????????????????
