I'm with The Planet, and they sell mostly Dell boxes - but they handle the hardware maintenance, bandwidth, networking, etc. I have some great people helping me manage the box, but I didn't want to go down the road of purchasing hardware and doing the whole co-location thing. At least, not in Calgary - bandwidth here is brutally expensive, and no local co-location place can match what I get from The Planet.
