Are you looking for full servers, or to build from parts? Someone just recommended Supermicro; I'm not a big fan of them just now - we have a good number of servers from Penguin Computing that use that, and the 64 core systems seem to have a lot of problems. Their 48 core servers seem fine.
The SuperMicro Intel stuff seems just fine. I'd be more leary of AMD.
We've had a number of servers fail, and it *seems* to be related to the motherboard. In fact, I just got the pass, and asked the secretary to call Fed Ex today to ship another one back to the vendor.
