I remember a story about two similar HP proliants.. same model number,
ordered the same day, same hardware configuration etc..

The other one had problems with a lot of things, while the other one was
working perfectly well..

Looking at the serial numbers in more detail revealed the non-working
one was assembled in Malaysia, while the working one was assembled in
Ireland.. (iirc). :)
