Since around 2000 I bought something shy of 1,000 of them for a small server hosting company. Mostly the smaller ones in the sub-$1,000 price range, and we had very good luck with them. With the exception of one year where we had a roughly 100% failure rate on the power supplies (same make, model, mfg as ones we had in service 5+ years), they were just workhorses at extremely reasonable prices. After the power supply failures we started switching to their "twin^2" units (or something named like that) which were 2U RM boxes with redundant power supplies and 4x semi-blade servers, which again we could provision for the sub-$1,000 price. I've since looked at pricing some systems from them as an alternative for the Dell servers we've been buying more recently, and oddly enough the prices all seem to be in the $10K+ range. A pretty big shock to see what used to be "dirt cheap servers" up in that range, but the RAM and SSDs really add up. Even though Dell seems to have insane pricing in their configurator for RAM and drives...
