Dell does not include Rails by default. SM and PC do. You've to add that to the Dell price listed above. 179$ for Dell boxes.
The comparable SM box (SM-1151A, 2,6GHz P4, 2*512MB RAM, Seagate 40GB, no CD, Rack mount kit, 3yr warranty) is at $1104 http://www.siliconmechanics.com/i1158/p4-server.php
That's non-ECC ram though and no cdrom. The rail costs 49$ at siliconmechanics. Newbie question: Is the rail like a drawer so that you can pull the server out of the rack? I've never physically seen my servers up to now...
