I've used many times -
CTS computer 617 964 8927
Ctscomputer.com
And I'll say they're really good, if you want generic black boxes with
quality parts, to compare against dell servers for the sake of saving money.
I'll say that for best reliability, you should use the dell servers, with a
supported OS. (Don't buy an optiplex and expect to run linux on it.) But
CTS was able to deliver 2x the black boxes for me that I would have gotten
for the same $$ in Dells.
Depends on your needs. If you need the best reliability, I'll recommend the
Dell. If you need the highest horsepower per dollar, I'll recommend CTS.
Tell them you want to run RedHat (or whatever) and they'll test it for you
to make sure it installs before shipping it.
