I've had good luck ordering supermicro barebones servers from
Newegg.com.  I usually have supermicro open in one tab with newegg
open in the other to make sure I get the right stuff (SATA, IDE, SCSI,
ECC, non-ECC, etc...).  Just as a general rule I've found.  If it says
P-4 it won't have ECC, if it says Xeon it will need Registered ECC.
The Supermicro boards I have had all need a pair of memory modules
(I've only worked with Xeon).  Only giving it one will produce a
memory error on post.

What other brands do people around here go for?  Who builds their own?
