I'm thinking that the most reliable information about * hardware would be from vendors that build and install * systems. I know when we purchase mission critical freebsd/linux boxes we have specific vendors we go through because they know exactly what works and what doesn't. Plus, Vendors have the cash to test out various systems. If you start an open group of some type, where are you going to get your hands on the type of hardware that people will actually be using? That said, I haven't actually seen any vendors that build custom systems for stock * installations. I've seen some dell poweredge systems out there, but to me that means the vendor is just using the best bang for the buck hardware and dropping in some digium cards. Personally I would buy an * box from someone like asaservers.com. At least companies like that really know their hardware, and if you tell them the common issues with * they could probably put together a rock solid system.
