I used one of AMI's quad PPro boxes with great success, unfortunately it was axed before we got FreeBSD-SMP running (I think a VP's kid stole it). I would say go for it, the only other manufacturers with 4 way boxes that I've seen are Compaq, Intel, and I'm sure GW2k and Dell have some decent boxes. 4U is *very* small for a 4way box so definately go for it :) Let me know how it works, I may be looking for similar hardware where I'm at.
