I think we can all agree that that HP badged servers are cheaper. But I think
the original request was for non-CCS approved HP boxes. The current
discontinued MCS-7845v2 specs are about double the cost of a current spec'ed
model. My HP rep couldn't believe I was buying this over the current specs at
double the cost. So basically, double the cost and at half the performance. :(<br>

I'm getting ready to replace 3 of my 7845's that are going<br>
end-of-support with HP's. MUCH cheaper.<br>
