Dell is worth checking. In my case, there was a strong requirement to
choose company to make the machine up&running within 24 hours no matter
what goes wrong. You can opt for such service and it's much less
expensive than the offer I've got from several other local companies.
In my case the price of Dell NAS was about the same compared to other
offers with the advantage of superior service.
I've got PowerEdge 2950 server with directly connected PowerVault MD
1000 (just quite dumb disk enclosure) with 10 750GB disks in RAID5
It came with SLES10 preinstalled (RHEL being other option). All I had to
do was the storage and change a few settings in YAST to blend into
current network. Works flawlessly, only problem is that I have to buy
new switch with port bonding capability because single 1Gb ethernet NIC
is sometimes a limitation here.

I'm in the market for a new server for work here. I'm looking for some
company that builds server class machines that are pretty much certified to
run suse linux either version (enterprise or opensuse). I do not have to the
have the os installed on it but it would be ok if it came with the machine.
I need a raid 10 setup in the machine. I just want some good sources to
start looking at that are known linux vendors. I know I can build my own
machine up but at this point I'm ready to get a machine that I know will run
suse with no problems, just have to plug the os into the machine an start
working.
Thanks in advance.
