We've got a couple BSDI machines in our lab in addition to Micron's, HP's,
and some black boxes we build ourselves. The BSDI box is by far the most
economical (as far as buying rackmount) and perform as well as anything
else. They are also using good "standard" parts which means you can find
replacement components at CompUSA, Fryes, or wherever. The BSDI boxes are
made by Telenet systems, a most respected hardware company (in many unix
circles) who was recently purchase by BSDI.
I'm pleased to say that even after the purchase they still make mighty fine
servers.
