What I suggest you do is have one of the sales rep set you up with a test machine. The easiest way to do so is to go at their offices with a FreeBSD install disk and try to boot/install it on the hardware you're interested in. That's what I do with HP, Sun and IBM (IMHO, try to avoid Dell). On the other hand, there is a company at http://www.freebsdsystems.com/. By their name, one would think that the hardware they push should work fine with FreeBSD. I never dealt with them, so I really have no idea if they're good?
