And the technological difference between, e.G. a System x3650 and
System i515 is nonexistant. Even worse, the System i is trailing in

And maintenance wise: The Model 515 was designed by an idiot on acid.
Remove service processor, internal media bay, power supplies, fans
just to access the memory? Insane.
