Hmm, I've heard good things about their blades. They're no IBM's, but pretty good. They have backup servers on standby, and most everything in the servers is hotswapable (so if something is about to croak they pop it out and pop a new one in). I've had a few dell's in the past without issue, but I guess like everything they start putting cheaper parts in them to boost profit. Maybe this is a good thing Aggie, you'll finally have a Dell that works! (hopefully!)
