I've got plenty of dead Dells. I heard about SuperMicro over on the DPSedits list which is a video professional's list for users of the DPS Reality/Velocity editing system. People have been using them for years and I haven't heard any complaints, only praise. Video editing is a pretty intensive environment for stress testing, so that's why I chose it. Thanks for the input. -- Claude Jones Brunswick, MD, USA
