rackmount

We have a product which consists of a GUI program and all the hardware goes in a rack.

Our department bought a rackmount server for the first unit, but I dont think this is adequate for applications that use graphics (correct me if I'm wrong - we bought a Dell R710).

Could you tell me of a good rackmount workstation we could buy for our product? Also, would it be risky for us to build our own rackmount?
