Thanks for that warning.

Speaking of cooling, those Dells have 7 screaming fans. They really blow. And they're REALLY LOUD! Multiplied by 3. They sat behind me for the duration of their configuration, about 10 days. You will have to speak louder, I'm now partially deaf.

(And I thought my home file server was noisy with 4 HD coolers and misc fans.)

Sure could hear the quiet when the breakers blew. (The breakers blew twice here at home when I was compiling Gentoo on all three boxes. My 650 watt UPS powered them along for literally 5 seconds before it gave up in disgust. LOL, that really sucked!)

Oh man, that's sadistic!
Compiling Gentoo.. ad then having the UPS power the things for 5 minutes?
