Not local suppliers unfortunately, but we just looked at dual Opteron 1U rackmounts and got quotes from Appro (www.appro.com) and Sun. Appro was a little over $3k for dual 248's w/4Gb of memory, Sun was around $4200 for a similar config (V20z). The Sun boxes seemed to be in short supply, but we did order one and it should be in tom'w.
