  The IBM ServeRAID is not supported, but you can order the server without
the ServeRAID card and order an IBM Mylex AccelRAID 352 instead!  IBM owns
Mylex.  I don't think you can order Mylex cards via IBM re-sellers yet,
but IBM re-sellers certainly can complain about your choice of RAID cards.

  The Netfinity 4500R (now the x340) is very nice.  3U, dual CPU, three
hot swap drive bays, and support for three more hot swap drive bays, and
redundant power supplies.  Dell has nothing quite like this.  Plus the
lightguide diagnostic system is pretty cool too, and Dell doesn't have
that either.
