for Intel.

Jason,

I thought I did. it's an Intel l440gx motherboard. Price watch says it's
$409 from these guys, who I know nothing about:

http://www.simplexcom.com/

We buy systems from these folks, about $3600 with a single PIII 500,
512M Ram, and a 9Gig Seagate LVD drive. (This is a volume purchase price
I'm told)

Yeah like I said I think they kick ass, been around for over a year now
too, and they just rereved the board for the 600MHZ + CPU's.

FWIW Intel will is selling 2U servers based on this MB.

Intel will soon have a new shorter version, we had the rep through with
a near production server. 2U with 4 hotswap SCA drives. Looks very nice
although they still have some case access issues to ironed out.It looks
pretty much like the above but has a louvered black plastic front panel
and will only be 24" deep I think this one is 28" or so.
