Johnny.. I deal with HP on the Unix side and I can confirm they are switching over to new systems (software or hardware I am not sure). They are still slugging away at the merger too (the merger everyone thought had been completed).
Couple that with the fact they are outsourcing jobs to India and it makes for a VERY bad situation. My customers and I are having issues from Maintenance, order fulfillment, lost records etc...
Build your own bro, you will have FAR less headaches than dealing with HP.
My last system was an HP (7995 I think) and I built 2 more for myself since then. I have had fewer issues with my homebuilt systems than I had with HP. If you have the means and the time, build your own. There are plenty of VERY knowledgeable people on this forum that can help.
