Yeah,
I was going to mention that Intel thing also. Here is the link that I
found.
We use Telenet Sys, 2U systems. Dual PIII's and they will send it with
Freebsd installed. They are pretty nice so far. We Have two SCSI RAID
systems. Our former heaad sysadmin dd'd 8, 9gig disks using the RAID to set up
our machines, It took about five minutes per disk.

I can't recall Telenet sys's websight. If you want it I can get it on monday.
I recomend them though they are a little expensive. (it is Telenet)
