I've been asked to come up with a 'clean slate' hardware recommendation despite having very little knowledge of hardware for a application server and database server?  I have to 'find' all the hardware on this government pricing site:

Does anyone know of a way to just get a Good, Better, Best general purpose 'stack' without having to put too much effort to it just to get a conversation going with the vendor to see if the software can run on it?
