Many years ago in 1993 I started my first hardware reselling business firestorm Australia, we built servers and desktops using name brands such Intel, Tyan, Matrox, WD, Seagate, creative labs … etc etc the list goes on supplied by people like Ingram Micro, Multimedia technology, times international … we use to build and ensemble hardware for a range of clients… now a days we stick to vendor total solutions such as Dell, IBM, Sun and HP. If we need a desktop or server we buy a complete system from one vendor, this makes technical support issues, driver issues and warranty much easier to deal with as compared to what we call “whiteboxs” build yourself servers / workstations.
The support from all the above vendors are far greater than any single supplier of individual parts, when you buy from a distributor.
