I've talked to a couple people that have these boxes up and running and
from what they said they're running great!

I've got 2 on order so hopefully in the next couple weeks I'll be able
to do some playing..

Couple things to keep in mind though.. Last I checked the PERC RAID
controllers have some firmware issues that cause the machine to
lockup under load, however Dell and AMI know about this and
are working on a fix (May be out already).

Also there are some kernel tweaks you may have to do in order for
things to work right, specifically NAPIC = 2, NINTR = 28 I guess
with the defaults the system doesn't want to boot..

Hope this helps..
