I have very good connections at supermicro, and sadly what was 
communicated to me a few months ago was that they are only interested in 
selling "AI" servers now, so cheap, high:ish density 1U servers are out 
and no one gets a lot of commission on it, so it's a pain to get anyone to 
care about those orders. =(

Chenbro I have not heard about. I will check it out! Another option is 
Gigabyte, sometimse it seems as if Gigabyte can be a good replacement for 
supermicro.
