Well, Sun V60x or 65x will do, they are relabelled Intel OEM boxes, or
HP 380 G3, nice thing, also quite sturdy.
Only disadvantage is, that you don't get snmp agents for that box, but
the ilo also reports most of the hardware issues via web interface.

I'd also recommend going to 4.9 or 4.10 when its available, some driver
have undergone some updating...


Just my 0.02 Euro...
