I've only used a couple of HPs, (350 something I think) but they seemed about the same. One came with a DOA motherboard, but it was replaced quickly. Something similar happened on a Dell box. We have had several of Dell's power supplies go out, but they were the redundant setups so the servers ran on the rest of them until spares came. Dell didn't whine about replacing them. ////jerry > > ----- > Eric F Crist > Secure Computing Networks >
