I have to go with Brian on this. One company I know is running around 20,000 SuperMicro servers, and very few fail anything but a hot-swap hard drive. The various components are bolt-standard, but the motherboards and chassis's are custom engineered. SuperMicro custom designs their motherboards and chassis's; hundreds of other vendors whitebox the SuperMicro servers.
