Would love to know when that was (more accurate than "late 90s") because at my first workplace we also paid for Cobalt Raqs (and I'm not sure if "random desktop pcs in a DC" were available), but because it was the summer of 2001 iirc it's maybe a bit too late to draw parallels (3 years back then could be a lot more revolutionary in hosting than today).

Once they started offering white boxes on bread racks things actually looked up and support could actually help people because it was the same standard tools they already knew. Later in the days they made big deals with Dell, and even then we were racking dell desktops and office services on bread racks for a long time. I remember when we got our first few lines of real rack mount servers -- they were sooo sexy.
