I know this is a topic that could easily spawn a holy war, but hopefully we 
can all keep the constructive to a maximum. ;)

My company has been purchasing almost exclusively Supermicro SuperServers 
for our production FreeBSD server hardware for that last four years or so. 
Over all I'd say we've been quite happy with Supermicro from a product 
stand point, but recently we've been dealing with some odd hardware 
issues.  I still have faith in their hardware, but some concerns with 
their support structure is causing us to reconsider our future hardware 
purchasing plans.

I was wondering what others are using for production FreeBSD server 
hardware.  I'm most interested to see what manufacturers seem to be rock 
solid from a hardware and FreeBSD interaction perspective and also have 
solid support for those issues that come up from time to time.

Thanks for your time and I look forward to people's feedback.
