x3105 review in smallbusinesscomputing.com
"IBM's x3105 offers a serious, sober server at desktop prices. Rather than plow your investment into flashy toys, the x3105 offers server-grade features and management support that's hard to find at its price level. This server makes a lot of sense for small businesses in need a light-duty server, particularly for file and Web serving, content management or point-of-sale transactions. Its small size and quiet operation let you keep it where bigger iron doesn't fit — right under your desk."

x3105 review in smallbizpipeline.com
"IBM has recognized the importance of pricing with its previous xServer models and has done its best to deliver server-level performance with PC-grade components. The company's new x3105 model breaks that mold by incorporating features found in server-grade systems at a price that makes this a viable choice for small businesses to bypass the PC as their first server."

x3550 and x3950 review in Linux Magazine
"The x3550 and x3950 machines have a cool, Darth Vaderblack case and cool blue LEDs — true geek eye-candy — but the machine's screaming performance and flawless installation and operation is what really impressed me.... Both servers (x3550 and x3950) were incredibly cool to the touch even after running for weeks nonstop with active virtual machines. The systems are amazingly quiet as well"

"The System x3550 is IBM's take on the future of the datacenter -- a future based on low- to midrange server virtualization, and advanced management and deployment tools, dynamic load-aware resource sharing, and, of course, IBM hardware. The new System x servers looks to be a solid step in that direction."

"IBM has once again created a scaleable yet powerful system for businesses of all sizes and needs with the System x3650. Since reviewing the System x3650, I have already flawlessly deployed two units into client sites while exceeding performance needs and meeting budget constraints.
