@Francisco has a few.
Stay away, terrible.
They work fine. We'd continue using them in Vegas if we didn't want to get away from LACP bonds with a merged chassis.

We have a couple in operation in and they have been performing splendidly. What particular issues did you face Chris?
Yeah I've looked at the reviews and many people on WHT say it's a great switch.
We have a few and they've been pretty good. We also use the FESX448/FESX648 and they work well.
@CVPS_Chris - what do you use?
Foundry/Brocade BigIron RX-series?
SuperX.
We're only using the unit for layer 2. We looked at an RX8 but the BGP tables max at ~550k or so on them.
We looked at a cisco 6509 as well but they drew a crap ton of power.

Yeah I wanted to get a few FESX648s but they're really hard to find in the grey market.

Both of our Force10's died within a couple hours of being racked. Almost definitely an issue with our source (ebay) and not the hardware, but we like Foundry/Brocade better anyway. We use a SuperX as well.
We use Force10 S25Ps for transport links (1G in 2x10G ports) by vlans.
Didn't try it yet but they seem promising and also pretty cheap (Force10 S25P + 2x10G XFP Module) for 1500EUR which gives you 24 SFP ports and 4x GigE Cat6.
Only think i don't like are the fixed PSUs and the 10G ports on the back.
Yeah I checked these guys out and they didn't have the ones I wanted in stock.
