Michael Dell announced on Twitter in July that his namesake company would let customers buy Dell products using Bitcoins, making the tech vendor one of the largest businesses to accept the digital currency.

A month later, the Dell CEO said on Twitter that the company had received an order for PowerEdge servers worth more than 85 Bitcoins, or about $50,000. There were no details about the customer that bought the systems, but it's likely among the largest Dell has received since accepting Bitcoins as payment.

Dell officials initially announced their intentions with Bitcoin July 18 through a number of avenues, from a tweet by Michael Dell to a blog post to a Web page dedicated to the initiative. The Bitcoin program currently is offered only in the United States, and initially was aimed at consumers and small businesses. The company is partnering with Coinbase, a 2-year-old third-party payment processor. It took Dell two weeks to set up the agreement with Coinbase.
