I think in most cases the dell cards actually cost more, people end up stuck with them because they come bundled with their servers - they find out too late that they've got a lemon.
Up until recently those in charge of buying hardware where I work insisted everything be supplied from dell. Fortunately that policy is no more; I have enough paperweights.
