I'm not a hardware expert- should we avoid companies like Dell? Is there a quality problem with their hardware?
Dell is a bit expensive compared to smaller outfits that specialize in server hardware. I've used penguincomputing.com a lot in the past, with good results. I have 1 server from racksaver.com, it's a good machine, but on their website the other day, they seem to be specializing more in the cluster/beowulf world than commodity webservers. And finally, just recently the CEO of livejournal.com recommended siliconmechanics to me.
