We've been very happy with 1U webservers from them; the SuperCom 
servers.

Our 2U Terrabyte backup server is from them as well which recently had a 
problem with losing the ability to find drives by label; we ended up 
rebuilding the system because I don't know how to manage a problem I 
can't figure out.  It's back in the data center and running like a 
champ.

It's got a RAID controller in it, but we set each of the four 250G 
drives as it's own RAID array; we don't use RAID on our backup servers.

In general I can see the systems have proven their value to us.
