Dru Lavigne has published a PDF file on BSD Success Stories. While this is FreeBSD-centric, there are also a couple OpenBSD success stories, one on an "emergency" OpenBSD router and another on an OpenBSD-based IPSEC VPN.
I read a couple of the stories and it's pretty interesting to see how quickly machines with BSD can be deployed and solve the tasks at hand. This might be a good read for your boss to show that price and quality does not always go together.

There was a huge section dedicated to hacking your kernel config file and the author strongly advocated creating a custom kernel for speed and security... Right, like removing drivers is going to remove any vulnerabilities, and everyone knows the only real speed difference is in loading the kernel. The rest of the "hacks" weren't much better.

Primarily I use custom kernels to have a bit less memory wired down, as I don't have much RAM.
