I've been getting quotes from Iron Systems the last few days. I
haven't ordered any of their hardware yet, but they seem to offer a
good value.

I ended up buying one machine (for starters) from the folks at Iron
Systems. They must be running JIT over there because the order was
delayed a couple of days due to lack of hardware. They waived the
shipping and next dayed the box as soon as possible. It was a
pleasurable experience and a company I will be doing business with in
the future. LSI card, 4 disk scsi, and bsd.mp 3.8-Beta.

I was just on their site comparing them to Dell's products. I am looking
at colocating 3 in San Jose (where they are located),
so they could be a convenient hardware source. And BSD friendly.
Are their sales staff very knowledgeable? Dell's are not!
The Dell rep asked me what kind of "Windows version", BSD was.
He was schooled.
