Try cambridge computer supplies; I got an excellent box there without an OS installed, all the hardware was supported (SIS stuff mostly). http://www.cambridge-computers.com/ http://www.sis.com/support/driver/linux.htm
I have heard nasty things about CCS before and certainly have seen some of their equipment fail at a staggering rate when it is about 2 years old.
A company I can reccomend having worked with them personally on many occasions would be http://www.woc.co.uk they sell systems based on Intel chassis and are fairly knowledgable and now sell systems with Linux pre-installed. They also worked closely and solved problems incredibly quickly when we had problems with equipment we had purchased from them.
If not going with the Intel server kit would not be a bad idea at all, I have never had any problems with it, its well built and they provide linux support. Chris, where do you live though maybe someone could reccomend someone just down the road? and you mention low-end so does that mean you are on a specific budget?
