[BBLISA] local vendors for Intel servers?

Rackable makes some nice systems... we've got a bunch around here.  We
get both AC singles and some DC racks as well for the lower power
requirements.  

Just curious why you're going Xeon and not Opteron?

As a side note, we're into compute nodes with lots of memory, no local
disk besides OS and swap.   This is probably different from your
needs.
