All the demo kit we've ever been sent has had extendable rails.
Buy HP anyway -- they make Dell look like they were built for 12p. Plus their RAID controllers are LSI Logic crap.

Dell have over 50% of the US server market.

Market share doesn't necessarily imply quality

They probably did cost 12p to make tbh 
Support is good though, which I think attracts a lot of people.

HP are overpriced, over loaded shite in my experiences, one day i had to wait 25 minutes for a new laptop to boot into windows as it was setting up loads of hp bundled crap before i could do anything, i was pissed off
