 Because their support in Ireland is bad to the point of recklessness. I
can put you onto guys that sell the Xserve, and they won't recommend it in
Ireland, due to up to 4 week lead time on replacement parts. 

 Generally, you can't wait that long. If you are the type of house that
always has one or two spare machines, and can take the 4 week hit,
consider them.
