I had in mind to use them.How did this happen? Who's to blame? Well certainly there are those more responsible than others, and they will be held accountable, but again truth be told, if you're looking for the guilty, you need only look into a mirror.

They should be ok actually - bought 6 x R210s for SKA's growing needs - extra warranty is a rip off but since we plan to use them in failover mode then we don't care too much if one box fails...Comment

Server rack rails are expensive no matter what manufacturer you buy from especially if you order them separately.
I've found Dell to be fine as a server supplier, no better or worse than any of the others I've bought hundreds from.Comment
