Crazy idea and unbelievable for a company that builds top end systems.
You've likely hit it square on the nose with that one, after working as a tech at a computer store for a while, I was always surprised by the amount of BS these supposedly 'professional' people spout.

Judging by the number of people getting PCIE RAID cards in the Storage forum, specifically Dell Perc 5/i (8x), I'm going to take a stab and say it's not a problem.
