I've had great success with Iron Systems, http://www.ironsystems.com/  
They're all former BSDi guys and very linux savvy as well. You can  
just tell them the release of Linux or FreeBSD you're running along  
with the hardware specs and they'll make sure everything is  
compatible. I've been much happier buying from them for the past two  
years than with Dell or another name brand vendor. Prices and quality  
have been better as well.
