You're right about that - I learned a lot about 1U cooling and low-profile
fans in the last one I built.  It was fun, but now they want 10 boxes,
delivered fast!

I noticed the PowerEdge 750 seems to have one of each: 32- and 64-bit PCI's,
both brought to the rear panel - nice.

BUT, I can't get the Dell's fast enough for this customer, so now I'm
looking at the HP Proliant DL-320.
