Have a look at:

Think on a component level, not a machine level.  Almost any "generic" PC
that you build up should work.  The problem with (esp. Compaq) pre-configured
servers is that they often use propriatary, non-standard NICs and/or SCSI
host adapters.  In general, most things should work, except maybe very new
products.  When in doubt, ask.  :-)
