I've built a number of Dell systems lately (Windows for this client) but
I always order them with the DRAC/4 card. I think it's about $350
Canadian.

It has an IP adress and you just connect using a browser and a little
JAVA app.

The really cool thing is that it lets you control the ENTIRE boot
process, including the POST and BIOS setup.

Works great, and saves me a 3.5 hour drive to the farthest client
installation...
