We took a look at a piece of hardware that truly has a few competitors...

They list the HP as a competitor, and a few brands I've never heard of, but no mention of Penguin Computing's Altus series offering. Anybody have any experience with Penguin Computing in general, or their Altus series? We are looking into purchasing opteron servers but are having a difficult time weighing between vendor reputation and configuration flexibility (redundant power / scsi raid).
