I can probably give you some input on this next week.  We're actually
buying Sun Blade 8000 and 6000 models, but mainly to be able to say we
actually looked at something else, Dell is coming onsite here to give
us a presentation of their blades.  Since they're just individual pc's
loaded in a chassis, I'd expect it to work fine, but I can ask.
