24 hours?! I have a new one for my HP boxes onsite in 4 hours, including
a tech if needed...
But I assume Dell also has service-agreement deals you can get to get
the level of service you'd want. (But you won't get it for a
non-brand-name server, most likely)
Bottom line - don't underestimate the service you get from the vendor
when something breaks. Because eventually, something *will* break.
