Hello,

Can anyone recommend a decent rack server from HP, Dell, IBM or CDW
that will run OpenBSD for webserver use?  I would prefer a machine
that has SCSI drives with Mirror Raid capabilities.  I know I can go
piecemeal one from FRY's but I need one that can have a hardware
support agreement tied to it.

I was glancing at the sunfire v20z , ibm xseries 306 and HP DL360
with Smart Array 6i.  The dl360 looks like it fits the bill but I
have had problems in the past with the smart array on older DL class
boxes.  The server(s) will be used for web shell and sftp services
under medium loads.  Thank you.

I've been happy with our recent purchase of Dell PowerEdge 750's for the same purposes you mention. We neglected any hardware RAID in favor of OpenBSD RAIDframe.
