If you're local to the Manchester area, check out PC Authority on northern
Elm Street. A number of my clients have machines built for them and they are
decent as far as service goes (YMMV). One of the techs there, Kevin, is an
RHCE and seems competent. One nice thing about having them build you a
couple of boxes is they are local and therefore you can get decent service
and their prices seem reasonable. I usually build my own stuff, buying at
the shows and on-line but I will say that when you run into integration
issues, it can be quite time consuming and painful.

Have a look at http://www.pogolinux.com
We have three of their 3800 servers. We like the machines and the company
so far.
