I find that I tend to bump the buttons on the MSI / Tyan units and 
accidentally change things. So I prefer no buttons. Instead of the LCD, I 
label the server.


I could not get the MSI rail kits to work, so those just have to be stacked.

The Tyan units have no CD ROM, so if you have to boot from a CD to fix 
something, make sure to bring one with you.

Previously I would but P4 servers from
http://serversdirect.com/default.aspx?id=535

But now it seems like they just offer the PD cpus which I have not tried. 
Anyone tried the PD cpu ?
