If you read through the thread, he is not looking for "a serious server". He is looking for a simple machine that can power up after a power loss.

Also, I've been in hundreds of data centers, including those of most large banks and several Fortune 100 companies. I also maintain some colo space of my own, and do server hosting. I've *never* seen a Cisco server in use anywhere, in fact the HP servers that you knock are actually fairly popular and I know several folks running them with great success.
