New Server advice

[HazMan]

Hi guys

My current company's PC-based server looks about to give up the ghost, and I am looking into getting a decent server machine. I am partial to HP, but would like to hear some opinions on the quality of the various manufacturers:

HP
IBM
Mecer
Dell

Fire away!

Suggest a Stratus ... after all, you can only be fired once

The ftStratus is a six 9's Windows box, i.e. 99.9999% uptime.

My employer runs one, along with a number of the bigger brothers.

The only time that the boxes stopped was when we moved premises !

Ditto with our IBM PSeries
