From: "Robert Comer" 

I really like the IBM xSeries machines, not the cheapest, but very well
built.  We have a model 250 that is the best built PC I've ever seen. Raid
controller built in, redundant power supplies, lots of slots (including hot
swap PCI), lots of hot swap bays. Ours is dual Xeon (P3 core, it's over a
year old) CPU capable, but I only have one.
