HP DL360G5 we have 5 of these that we use with 4 port bge cards
as vpn servers and firewall.
Running or have run 4.3 4.4 4.5
HW Raid controller
I like the lights out management cards on the older ones ( G3 ) better
as they just give you a screen scrape console. The G5 does something
different I have not yet really looked in to well enough to get a
console running on.
SunFire x2100 - Meh, less expensive not as ready for prime time, no RAID
no management card that runs for us.

I've been asked to hunt for hardware that meets roughly these specs:

Ethernet interfaces as will physically fit the form factor
* Gigabit capable
Anything else is really just a bonus, 'works with OpenBSD' is a must,
onboard graphics, sound etc is totally irellevant, humans will
interact physically with this only rarely if we do this right. The
location is in northern Europe, anybody who is not scared of shipping
there is fine with us.
Any war stories, notes or anecdotes (including don't do this, go for
$foo instead) welcome. The amount of misleadingly tagged webshop
pages stuffed to the brim with inane animated and barely related ads
sort of got to me at one point.
All the best,
