Yes, those are decent prices for them putting it together for you.
Definate a lot better than Dell. What ASA is doing here is taking
Supermicro barebones servers (which is a brand I highly recommend) and
helping you add in the parts to complete the whole server.

At Suso I buy the parts seperately and put it together myself, which
is cheaper, but requires that I do my research and make sure I have the
right parts. So its time vs. money.

But ASA seems to be much more competitive pricewise than other
companies I've seen who do the same thing.

I can't recommend enough to stay away from Dell. They have nice
servers, but they grossly overcharge.
