At a guess "Dell" & "Base"

> Which is the rackmount server 

None of XPS, Latitude, and Inspiron are servers

Their website for servers is very confusing now, too split up by 
industry, what does a server care about that?

Easy to find 1U/1xsocket/4xdrive servers for about £1k
Easy to find £30kto £50k, 1U servers too

Not so easy to find boxes with a bit more expansion (2U, 2xsocket, 8-16 
drives) they do exist and reasonable about £3-4k starting price, but 
they're almost hidden.

I'm sure they'd love to spend they time sending out horrifically priced 
quotes, but for customers who haven't gone to the cloud, but don't wnt a 
poverty spec server, they don't appear to be trying very hard?

I'm sure we'll cope
