As per my action:

I talked to the Linux Foundation. Basically if we have a list of server specs 
we want, they can send it to a number of suppliers and see whether they can get 
a discount

Well, 200W per machine is an issue. The rack I have a quote for has 3600W (30A 
@ 120) available and at 200W per box: That is
18 servers.

We are looking at 27 servers...

Lists a Dell R210 @ 43.2W, HP Proliant DL360 @ 248W.

So it looks like with more of the lower power servers we can fit.
