i wouldnt recommend interpromicro. had a terrible experience with two boxes from them. they were big on talking about how they will 'take care of us', but did not offer any acceptable solutions when problems came up. when i put in 10k+ worth of orders within a month and call to tell them that a mobo on a production machine is crapping out, i expect something better than 'ship the motherboard back we will see what we can do'. oh, they also shipped a dual system with non-ecc non-registered ram, but didnt neglect to charge for ecc registered.
this is on top of them using crappy cases, thats a whole another issue. stay away from vendors that will put any component you want into a certain case - no engineering is done, they just plunk it in there and hope it doesnt melt.

www.tigerdirect.com
I will be buying one from their Canadian site www.tigerdirect.ca 
although they aren't that cheap, they look good. They sell Vision and Cybertron Servers.

I know you should watch out for Tigerdirect. I have bought smaller items from them in the past and had no problems, but I know quite a few people who have had their problems with them. Basically, multiple failures of hardware or getting reconditioned stuff when they thought they were buying new. Getting a hold of someone was very difficult in the event of problems. My 2 cents. As for interpromicro--I have never used them but just know they sell dual Athlon systems.
If you are thinking about building there is one place which is very good: www.newegg.com I have used them a lot and built multiple systems with their components. I have had to return a couple things and there was no problem with replacements at all--fast, easy, etc. I know they have dual Athlon motherboards in stock every now and then so this could be a viable choice.
