Anyone know of some manufactures that are reputable on computer rackmount server parts? I'll list some manufactures down and tell me which ones are good and which are not. Feel free to add anything that I haven't listed.

AIC
Chenbro
Norco
Supermicro

1U Rackmount Power Supply
Zippy
Supermicro
Sparkle

Dual Socket LGA 1366 Motherboard w/ 5520 chipset
ASUS
Intel
Supermicro
TYAN

Server Memory 4GB DDR3 1333 1066 ECC Modules
A-DATA
Corsair
Crucial
Kingston
Patriot
 
Case wise, Supermicro and Chenbro are the top high-end gear. However Norco is more of the budget line. Never heard of AIC

PSU Wise, Zippy hands down. Supermicro and Sparkle don't come close to a Zippy. Though a Supermicro is significantly better than Sparkle

Mobo wise, Supermicro takes the cake here. Asus and Intel are more value oriented. I hardly ever see Tyan recommended around here

RAM wise, they're basically all the same. However Kingston tends to have the higher compatibility rate with Supermicro motheboards
