If you walk into a big server farm like Exodus, it's Compaqs, Dells
and Suns almost exlusively.
If you are ever to colocate in such a massive place, pay the extra to
be in a "cage." Hot swappable parts (and non) are pilfered and
stuffed into bogged down servers as a quick fix or taken home. People
working on machines is an everyday occurance and noone notices which
rack someone is working on.
