For everything but SCSI, NewEgg.COM.  If you want it
pre-assembled, MWave.COM.  Otherwise, consider a supportive
whitebox reseller.  If you don't have one, there are several
on the Red Hat AMD64 list.

As far as your storage (SCSI), you want to get
_verbatim/exactly_ the _same_ make/model controller as a
backup.  You should keep one of those on-hand anyway.
