We would use them a lot more if they could get their system turnaround
half-way decent.

We just ordered another rackmount server.  I would have loved to have
given the $5k to Monarch (and got an Opteron server), but when their
delivery is close to 20 days (even with "Hot Rush" delivery!) it's hard
to justify when Dell can get us a server (albeit Xeon) in 3 days - even
though Monarch were cheaper (and that's after we beat Dell down $2k from
$7k)...

I'm sure you'll love it when it finally arrives.

Out of interest, what system did you get?

Regards,
Ozz.
