Yup, I would have to agree with the cloud ideas for your ERP systems presented here as well. Office 365 is actually really solid and would take a ton of pressure off of you and let you focus on your core business.
We use Lenovo at my office and am really happy with it actually. Failure rates are very low (maybe 1%) and they have a ton of options. If you insist on getting your own server, Lenovo has recently entered that market as well, although I don't have much experience with them.
I know I may get scoffed at for making this suggestion, but have a look at Best Buy and their "Geek Squad" deskside service options. They have some great service options for smaller shops that would be way cheaper than a consultant at $100/hr and you would probably get quicker service. Just another option for you.
