If you don't want to deal with HP or Dell just go to smaller server re-seller like https://www.ixsystems.com https://www.ixsystems.com or buy Supermicro machine (which is basically what Dell is using) from someone like http://www.rackservers.com http://www.rackservers.com . Don't go with S76, they are just re branding machines, and not even high quality machines https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13777649#13779002 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13777649#13779002
