I am considering a DELL PowerEdge Blade server for a project.
The ones i have available (online webstore) are M600, M605, 1955 and 
M1000e. Does anyone have any experience, good or bad, about running 
FreeBSD on these or similar (older?) systems?

Will FreeBSD (really) support either one of the FiberChannel cards?
  Qlogic QME2472 4Gbps FC4 HBA Card PCIe
  Emulex LPE1105-M4 FC4 HBA Card PCIe
