custom-made Server Solutions, Is it a need in the Libyan Market?

I've been browsing here and there and ran into the ZT company, it's an american company that provides custom made servers, Like the way we collect parts into a working desktop.

Most of the times I've been to a customer datacenter, the server is not fully utilized, especially the virtualization concept has just began to have an existence in our datacenters, I can't blame the engineer or presale who chose the model and specifications, because I've been in their shoes before, when building a BOM (Bill of Material) I find myself stuck between two models, RAM levels, or different number of PCI slots...etc. First choice is below minimum requirement, and the second is away above required. 
SO, I tend to the custom server idea, BUT the Libyan market is not ready for such an idea, we look for the brands we're familiar with, and the rule of purchasing is "I won't be the first one to try it"
