Recommendation for OSX86 rackmount server

[johnwwweissberg]

I need to build a 1U rackmount server running 10.6. The server will be a web server running apache and other "headless" services.

I am looking for a recommendation for a chassis from Supermicro, Dell, HP or other that will provide the easiest install procedure possible. I have configured 1 hackintosh netbook before. Although I accept inserting certain special kexts, I would like the Graphics and Ethernet to work out of the box.

Can anyone point me in the direction of a good chassis/CPU combination?

Here are the basic specs of what I am looking for:

Form factor: 1U rackmount
CPU: 1 x Intel 4 or 6 core
Disk drives: 4 x SATA
RAID: Software RAID handled by OSX

Sound: Not required
Wifi: Not required
Sleep: Not required

I haven't done detailed research, but Supermicro makes some nice socket 1156 bare-bone servers that might work.
