Catching up with my lists.
Although this may be too late to help the original poster, where I work we 
buy our servers from Ixsystems.
http://ixsystems.com

They are very involved with the BSD community and a few months ago bought 
PCBSD.

Price wise they are not cheap. Most of their server are over 2K.. even for 
their "low end setup". So if you are looking for a budget server under 2K 
they are not it.

If you are looking for a server over 2K.. then they are worth 
considering.

Excellent knowledge of what works with FreeBSD (and likely other BSDs).
We get our servers from them ready to go. With FreeBSD installed, disks/RAID 
setup and network configured to our specifications.
