Could be worth giving http://www.nsoptimum.co.uk/ a quick phone call. We used them quite a lot when I was @ IT helpdesk in a past life they're a great company
Contact Dell or HP Enterprise and explain your need and purpose. You may be quite surprised what they can offer. For instance, I can tell you that our buy price for HP equipment is less than 50% of the website cost.
