We've got all Dell machines here at work (for workstations, no
servers).  My workstation is a Dell Dimension 8100.  It's
acceptable but there is a lot of stuff i'm not too fond off at
all.  That goofy POS green plastic piece that gets in my way
every time i pull the AGP card.  My mothers Dell at work came
with some other BS, a similar piece of plastic in place of
screws to hold in PCI cards.  Also the case opens like a clam
shell, so that nothing is really easy to get to.  There
is not much control in the BIOS on my Dell, can't say for
others.  Plus, if i bought a Dell i'd have to pay for a copy
of MS Windows which i have no intention of doing. Last i spoke
with Dell the only way they would sell me a workstation with
linux or no OS, we would have to purchase several at a time.
This was about a year and a half ago so i suppose it might
have changed since then but i have not been inclined to check.

Beside all i need is a mobo, CPUs and RAM.  Everything else is
fine.
