Actually there are VARs that will assemble systems for you any way you choose. I've used them when I needed a large quantity of reference systems built using a development motherboard I designed. I had no OS installed, but they would have installed Linux if I requested. I used "http://www.colfax-intl.com/". But if you are looking for a lower cost solution it's certainly cheaper to buy off-the-shelf systems and just wipe the disk and install the OS yourself. For mission critical applications, I prefer a custom system with proper chassis, thermal monitoring, and redundant cooling.
