Instead, I prefer to work one on one with and prospective customer, ask them a few questions to get a clear understanding of what software will be running, and what resources will be taxed most heavily, then explain why the server that I will subsequently engineer will work best for them, and meet their budgetary needs. I'm not at all a believer of "just sell the client this one cookie cutter server", but rather I feel everyone is best served when a technically savvy authority is able to go the extra mile and show that they care enough to get the client in a server that will really be the right fit for them.
That's just one of many reasons my clients can attest to the fact that I really put a lot more into this game than most do.
