Hardware for SQL

Not really a SQL question, but wondering if anyone has any input on HP vs.
Dell. Specifically, we're comparing the HP ML570G3 to Dell's PowerEdge 6800.
We are historically a pure HP shop, but Dell's making a very good case
financially. Any thoughts on Dell's reliability and service?Hi
I used servers from both suppliers and they are pretty much equal IMO.

all Dell (20+ servers) and I prefer the Dell. For one thing, when I call
Tech support for Dell (which is rare), I get people that react quickly. If
the warranty is 4 hours, the guy is here in 4 hours or less (never over). I
also find getting new drivers and updates far easier at Dell.
