I had two Poweredges. I'm not sure if they were 350s but they had the
stupid popoff front panel. However apart from that they were little
crackers. Never missed a beat. Ran the Intranet and Exchange Servers
without missing a beat for a number of years.

Cheers,

Cliff

These twin-CPU hyperthreading computers are really
great! We can wait ten to a hundred times faster
